Honoring the specific vineyard, the grower, and the grapes, this Riesling epitomizes the pinnacle of the vintage. It exhibits a style characterized by texture and complexity, blending delicate oak nuances with citrus flavors and a vibrant acidity that promises longevity.

No. 1 lives up to its name. Winemaker John Hughes carefully selected the four finest rows from his parents’ vineyard in Clare Valley during the near-perfect 2017 vintage. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed and underwent spontaneous fermentation in his specially crafted French oak barrel. After maturing for 20 months, the wine was bottled, resulting in a rich, textured, and savory expression that many consider to be among the finest Rieslings ever produced in Australia.
