Expert Reviews

A wine of finesse, bright acidity, balance and great length.

96 Points

From a pair of Clare Riesling masters, comes a masterful pair of Clare Rieslings. This Watervale Riesling is simply superb. A very pale yellow, we have notes of grapefruits, talc, spices and florals with a minerally background. A wine of finesse, bright acidity, balance and great length. A scintillating Riesling with focus, this will be a joy any time over the next twelve to fifteen years. Early reports suggest that 2024 will be a thrilling vintage, as good – in its own way – as ‘21 and ‘22. A cracking Clare Riesling and what value it is.

'This is a fully formed young Riesling...'

95 Points

So fine, so silky, so effortless in delivery with aromatics that define what Watervale Riesling is all about. Watervale can be perceived as quiet. It is, in fact, beautifully subtle, detailed in style. Aromas of lime, lemongrass, kaffir lime with just a touch of ginger nicely define the sub-regional – and regional – style. The palate boasts a long line of flavour, super intense in lime, with herbals, fennel and ginger. Texturally, it’s supple. Acidity-wise, it is lemony bright and the mainstay of the wine, but don’t read into this that it is hard-edged. It’s not. Great length makes the flavour last. This is a fully formed young Riesling, ready to fly.

Pretty and zesty, this is a most enjoyable release.

95 Points

Always the prettier of the two O’Leary Walker Rieslings I find, this 2024 Watervale hits a home run once again. It’s simply a high-quality glass of happiness. Pretty and zesty, this is a most enjoyable release. Pretty white field flowers and bath salts always feature and this 2024 is no different. Lemon juice, lime leaf and lime zest, there is a fine ribbon of quartz minerality tucked in behind. It leaves a vibrant trail highlighted by a sherbety tang. Devine. Beautiful drinking. Drink this while it’s fresh on those hot summer days.

Winery Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green hues. Bright and zesty aromas. Kaffir lime power, fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice, with a hint of fennel spice. The palate has great depth of flavour with power, finesse, purity and natural acid balance.

Winery Profile

David O'Leary and Nick Walker both have a love of winemaking, a desire to create something exceptional and a strong affinity with the Australian wine industry.

After working for large companies for twenty years and amassing over 300 gold medals and 60 trophies(including a Jimmy Watson and twice International Red Wine Maker of the Year), David and Nick had achieved just about everything that a winemaker could.

A new challenge beckoned and David and Nick's belief in their winemaking skills and their confidence in the fruit and the vineyards available to them was the catalyst for them to establish their own venture based in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley.

As with all things in life, a window of opportunity opens only a few times and they believed it was their turn to step up, have a go and return to what winemaking is all about, making great wine from great vineyard sites.

It’s pretty classic and it’s pretty good.

93 Points

Lemons, limes, wet slate and red apples. It’s pretty classic and it’s pretty good. Intensity of flavour is upper middle, so to speak, and the finish is well sustained, with a touch of tonic water there. There’s a ripe feel to the fruit even though it’s measured and cool. There’s excellent drinking to be had here.

The Wine Front, 10 Oct 2024

Punchy, crunchy and tangy in flavour.

92 Points

Pale, bright and really youthful in the glass. Lifted aromas of bath salts, wet stone, lemon pith, talc and white flowers. Punchy, crunchy and tangy in flavour. There’s a pure drive of citrus and pithy acidity and there’s a lovely line and length.
