Wine Description
Pale straw in colour this complex but delicate wine displays aromas of stone fruit, citrus elements, greener melon notes, some hazelnut and slight flint notes. Soft and textural with obvious stone fruit and underlying citrus elements from the nose continuing on the palate. Hints of vanilla bean and hazelnut are also evident. Fresh acidity drives through the rich mid palate bringing freshness and balance. Some subtle mineral characters lead to a long clean finish.
Winemaker's Bio
Jarrad Steele, Chief Winemaker at Paulett Wines in South Australia’s Clare Valley, brings over 17 years of experience and a passion for letting the fruit speak for itself. He’s worked with top producers like Kilikanoon, Leasingham, and Napa Valley’s Chateau Montelena. His first Pauletts vintage included the 2019 Brielle Grenache, named after his daughter and made from old Watervale vines—his pick for Clare’s top Grenache site. In 2023, he received the Encouragement Award at the Canberra International Riesling Challenge. Jarrad continues Pauletts’ legacy of crafting outstanding regional wines, especially the internationally celebrated Clare Valley Rieslings.
