Roger Jones: Restrained yet full of delicate, refined flavours. I love the minerality, texture and yin-yang balance of juicy sweet and savoury fruit and great citrus acidity. Sarah Knowles MW: Aromas and flavours are dominated by lime and wet stone, well balanced by firm mouthwatering acidity. A proper Riesling. Anthony Rose: Aromatically very fresh and youthful, unravelling with nice weight on the palate. It is still elemental but finely textured, with an apple and citrus fruit quality and a dry, clean finish. Classic and great value.

About the Producer
The name Thorn-Clarke derives literally from the relationship of two long time Barossa families. Founders David and Cheryl Clarke (maiden name Thorn) work with their son Sam in this family run business. The Thorn-Clarke family has a long history in the Barossa with six generations of involvement in the wine industry. Today the Clarke family is one of the Barossa Valleys largest grape growers and winemakers with 270 hectares of vineyard spread across four sites in the Barossa and Eden Valley. Having grown grapes and sold the fruit to other wineries for a number of years the Thorn-Clarke name is relatively young as a winemaker with the release of the first wines in 2001.
