Clare Valley Missy Riesling 2023
Clare Valley Missy Riesling
Clare Valley Missy Riesling
Citrus Apple with Honey Peach.
The Pauletts Missy Riesling presents itself in a bright straw yellow with green reflections. The clear and brilliant color indicates youthful freshness. Swirling the glass leaves fine streaks, suggesting a balanced body.
The bouquet opens with fresh aromas of lemon, lime, and green apple. Behind these, delicate notes of white peach and apricot develop, accompanied by a subtle hint of honey. A touch of kerosene and wet slate minerality provides the elegant depth typical of aged Rieslings.
On the palate, the wine is light, yet with a juicy and precise acid structure. The crisp freshness of the citrus fruits is softened by a subtle residual sweetness, which ensures a harmonious balance. The mouthfeel is silky with a pleasant minerality, while the finish remains long and refreshing.
This Riesling comes from the renowned Clare Valley, one of Australia's best regions for this grape variety. The cool nights and calcareous soils contribute to the wine's striking freshness and elegance. It is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit aromas and typical acidity structure.
The Paulett family crossed half a continent after deciding to make wines big where they had previously been small. They now make the world's best Riesling and Shiraz.
In the 1980s, Neil and Alison Paulett decided to move to the Polish Hills in the Clare Valley. Australia was in recession and suffering from a severe drought. They chose the most beautiful place in the whole of the Clare Valley, a region that was only just making a name for itself as a wine region. Everything spoke against it, but the Paulett couple fought their dream through and are now the proud address for the best Riesling in the world (Best of 500 - International Riesling Challenge). The younger Paulett generation, Matt and Ali, now have the reins and are successfully driving the family business forward. They continue to produce Riesling, Shiraz and sparkling wines.
