Only the free run juice is used to make the Tim Adams Riesling, resulting in a delicate wine with intense flavours and aromas. The nose has lifted floral characters with citrus aromatics of grapefruit, lime and lemon. The palate is seamless with a richness of flavour built from dry ripening conditions.

Remaining true to our commitment to make quality Riesling expressing pure regionality, only juice which ran free from the press without applying any pressure was used to make this premium Riesling, from carefully selected sites throughout the Clare Valley. Following crushing, de-juicing and juice clarification, a steady fermentation proceeded for two weeks at 12—14°C to retain the delicate Riesling bouquet. The wine has been protein and cold stabilised to normal standards and contains only natural acid.

Relatively cool and moderate temperatures in the five months leading into vintage, meant that the Riesling retained good natural acidity providing freshness and enhancing our trademark brisk finish.

Use as an aperitif and enjoy with any seafood or white meats over the next ten years.

Description

Following an apprenticeship under the guidance of Mick Knappstein (Mr Mick) and winemaking positions at Leasingham and Quelltaler, Tim and his wife Pam Goldsack established Tim Adams Wines in 1986. Passionate about the Clare Valley, Tim and Pam source fruit from their own vineyards and those of the best local growers from all areas of the valley. Led by the iconic Aberfeldy Shiraz, Tim Adams Wines focus their attention on selecting Clare Valley grapes, for their authentic varietal and regional characters.

Tim Adams Wines was originally born of a partnership between Tim and Pam and local coopers, Bill and Jill Wray, in 1984.

The business was to make wine and small oak casks. This first year fell in the middle of a grape shortage, but fortunately the budding company was able to beg 10 tonnes of Shiraz from a good friend and neighbour. 1986 saw the first release of wine under the ‘Adams and Wray’ label, but the partnership was later dissolved in 1987, with the young couples choosing to focus on their respective passions. The families are still good friends to this day.

1987 continued to be an eventful year for the newly named Tim Adams Wines, with the purchase of the current winery site at Warenda Road in Clare and arrival of daughter Frances. Cellar door was opened and the first grapes crushed on site the following year. The decades that followed brought with them a natural evolution of the company, the physical site and the wines themselves. These years of hard work, passion and curiosity have resulted in a progressive family winery that is committed to creating elegant wines, without forgetting its obligation to the Australian wine industry, environment and wider community.

Tim Adams Wines now has a presence in all major international markets and is the constant recipient of awards, reviews and accolades both in Australia and overseas.

In 2016 Tim was recognised as one of Australia’s top ten iconic winemakers in the book – Ten Apostles – Stories of Australia’s Iconic Winemakers by David Aylward and Paul Ashton.
