WineScores' Review

Snappy, racy, mouthwatering
Plucked from South Australia’s Mount Lofty Ranges, this racy Watervale Riesling is made from grapes sourced from two Clare plots within the Slate Creek Vineyard; the region is famous for its floral and spirited Rieslings. Rockbare is a partnership between the Jackson family (owner of Kendall-Jackson, La Crema among dozens more wineries) of California and the Valmorbida family of Melbourne. This label depicts a diprotodon (giant wombat), an ancient muscular quadrupedal marsupial who roamed the region some 1.6 million years ago (who knew?) that has fortunately (I should think) shrunk considerably to its current size.

This 2018 has precise aromas of lime and green apples, white peach and orchard blossoms, honey and lemon drops. Crunchy fruit, citrus and mineral flavours dominate the palate; the finish has a razor sharp and mouthwatering snap of lime

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
