Claymore Joshua Tree Riesling 2025 is a masterful expression of Watervale’s renowned terroir, crafted from a blend of select parcels across three Riesling sites. Using only free run juice and cool fermentation, this wine captures the essence of a classic Watervale Riesling with a vibrant, forward fruit profile and delicate floral nuances.

The bouquet offers a lifted perfume of orange and lime blossom, enriched by subtle hints of musk and a distinctive mineral undertone reminiscent of bath salts. Notes of old-fashioned lemon barley cordial and pristine, steely minerality create a complex aromatic experience that continues seamlessly onto the palate. The wine’s texture reveals a pleasant chalkiness and a deceptively powerful concentration, finishing dry and clean without any astringency.

This vintage exemplifies the hallmark of great years in Watervale: a commanding fruit weight that lingers alluringly, balancing finesse with intensity. Its generous fruit concentration and refined structure make it an ideal companion for white anchovy, soft cheeses, and crusty artisan bread—true peasant gourmet done right.
