If this is anything to go by there are going to be some sensational Rieslings from Clare and Watervale in 2024. Mineral citrus notes on the nose are super intense. The palate has a deep intensity with a crunchy lively lift extending to an extraordinarily long finish. Slaty crushed rock and wet pebbly features on the palate provide such appeal. This is high-class stuff. Drink: 2024 - 2036; Price: $28.00; Rating: 95 Points; Ray Jordan

Juiced Granny Smith apples, white pear and Feijoa flesh. Calamansi limes, Jonquil and Frangipani blossoms. Spring has sprung when you crack open a bottle of this wine. It’s filled with Polly Anna dreams and hope. Its fragrance penetrates the room like a diffuser on high. Candied apples, white peach and grapefruit juice on the palate. In the midst of this economic eye roll, this should be the wine on your weekly rotation, incredible value and flavour as always. Mitchell wines are here for your silver lining.
