"It is wonderfully lifted on the nose showing grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, lime zest and lemon curd characters, leading to a vibrant palate that is finely textured and lingering with elegant sweetness and firm acidity. Gorgeously complex and lively" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2019

"Pale yellow in colour with lovely aromas of juicy lemon, lime zest and crunchy green apple with honeysuckle and touches of orange blossom. A well-balanced palate filled with zingy citrus, apple and white flowers with a sweet honeyed note. A perfect wine to match with goat cheese salads or light Asian dishes" The Wine Writer

This 2015 Riesling has a broad, rich, and earthy palate. Aromas of fragrant, floral honey toast with luscious spicy marmalade, integrate with ripe mouth-filling tangy fruit zesty peel and apple pith characters to finish.
