Top-rated 95 Points Halliday Wine Companion & Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"From a dry-grown vineyard planted in 1973. Peglidis is a name that sits comfortably alongside those of top sites from anywhere in Clare Valley. This is precise and racy, scintillating even, so intense it's almost breathtaking in its piercing zing across the palate. Scents are lime on green apple, fragrant talc, frangipani and grapefruit pith, flavours similar with a rapier-like thrust through the mouth. Brilliant, crystalline expression with so much freshness and vitality on its side. This drinks with vigour and a high-refreshment factor now, but will mellow gracefully over a very, very long time. A top-quality marque!" - Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
"The Peglidis Vineyard is in Watervale (Clare Valley) and is situated at 450 meters above sea level. The vines are planted in loam/limestone. I love the succulent 2022 acidity! This 2022 Peglidis Vineyard Watervale Riesling is fiercely intense and layered with lime flesh, pink grapefruit, green apples (Granny Smith, right before they're ripe) and ginger flower. Awesome. The minerality creeps in through the very long finish. I wrote this entire note off a single sip and took only a second to confirm it. It's a brilliant wine. Sealed under screw cap." - Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advovate 2022
