Description

"There is an impressive concentration of sugar and flavor in this botrytis riesling. Lime and peach fruits, as well as marmalade and dried apricots. Luscious and balanced" James Suckling, Nov 2017

"A delicious mix of bush honey botrytis flavours with toast, apricot and peach riesling characters. Quite sweet but supported by fruity acidity to give a pleasing tension. This really is a delicious dessert wine.  Drink 2016 to 2022" Bob Campbell

"Light gold, with beautifully rich, apricot/honey aromas and flavours.  Notably concentrated, with marmalade-like notes and a lush, super-rich finish.  One judge praised it as a ‘super’ wine" Winestate Magazine

On release the wine is a star bright, light golden colour. It is redolent with the aromas and fl avours of apricots, yellow fl eshed peaches, mango, pineapple and comb honey,
supported by an underlay of freshly crushed root ginger and tropical spice.  It is rich and luscious in the mouth but an incisive spine of acidity and minerality perfectly balance its sweetness, adding freshness and crispness to the lingering after-fl avours.

While ready to drink on release it should develop a peacock’s tail of additional shimmering nuances with careful cellaring. Wine in moderation is a natural health food.
