Proxime Accessit, or the runner-up, this Limefinger Solace Polish Hill River Riesling 2023 is Riesling at its absolute peak. Purity, class, all that. Just wow. This release glistened and was a well deserved second place to the QwineReviews Wine of the Year.

@whiteswine @SandyHorne61 3 for the price of one. Taken on Annies’s Lane, Polish Hill River last week. They were like statues.

Riesling lovers rejoice! Sound the alarm because the 2023 Clare Valley vintage is where the party is at. This Learnings Watervale from Limefinger is brilliant! https://t.co/1so1ANKMu5

Just when you think the 2023 Clare Valley Rieslings can't get any better, along comes the Limefinger Solace. Woah! This is Riesling at its absolute peak. Purity, class, all that. Just wow. https://t.co/PeXOg5nTgV

Neil Pike has been making Riesling from this vineyard for over 30 years. The joyous presence and focused tension of Polish Hill River is shining here in all its magnificent glory. The best new release Riesling I have tasted? Absolutely! https://t.co/UeS2cdiBFX

Neil Pike says that after 40+ years of making Watervale Riesling, you learn a thing or two, hence the name The Learnings. Limefinger is his retirement project, and if you love Riesling you ought to race to the front of the queue. This is exceptional. https://t.co/rmyGyvkv6r

Barnaby Joyce racked up $675K in expenses in 3 weeks as drought envoy. He says he sent texts to PM Scott Morrison who blocks FOI requests & refuses to release phone records.

@kaffeinenvino Better than I expected to be honest. Dry, stony, slightly tart, lemon curd etc. Did I say dry? We finished the bottle.

Riesling from the Piedmont - who knew? Not a bad fit for the 35C day here in Clare. HNY!

@RiggsBW I bow to your superior knowledge!!
