November 19, 2023 - This smells great. Some matchstick and then creamy stonefruit, cut with citrus. Palate mirrors that. White peach, pineapple, pear, traces of green apple. Good length. Would buy this again for sure.

November 5, 2023 - another example of these folks working with yet another varietal from yet another source and doing it well.

July 20, 2023 - survey of Wirz Vineyard Rieslings; 7/9/2023-7/31/2023: pale goldish straw and medium body in the glass. after the petrol… a perfumed nose of mixed white pears, grapefruit skin, ripe white flowers, lime zest, and white stonefruit. very smooth on the entry with a slightly round feel. juicy flavours of pear, yellow apple, and even quince (!) in the mid palate are lifted by a mid-toned somewhat citric acidity. caraway, coriander and beeswax accents meld in as well, while a pithy mineral bitterness provides bottom notes. good persistence with a saline streak.
very good effort from Bedrock. somewhat in an Alsatian mode, this wine can easily gain with more bottle age. indeed, i wish i had waited to open this.
13.5% AbV; no figures on RS, but i guesstimate it at ~4g/L, with acidity a couple of points higher; aged in neutral French oak cask -

March 5, 2023 - Nose of petrol, peach, pear, and white flowers. Deep fleshy white fruit palate with green apple and a hard candy note. Finish shows cooked pineapple, pear, and dry honeycomb flavor with a final waxy note.

April 21, 2022 - 13.5%, neutral French oak. Pale yellow. A little toasty wheat cracker and spicy caraway seed up front. Jasmine and vanilla, then clean pear and lemon on the finish. This verges on austere and seems a bit linear, but it's solidly good stuff.
