Served blind. Honey, lemon, green apple, butter, cream, kerosene. Bone dry, a little lime and lemon, cream and butter, acid is medium plus intensity but juicy rather than sharp and the kerosene note translates to the palate. On the finish this also lends a little bitterness. I guessed South Australia, 2011, Riesling.

Delicious clean and minerally cool climate Riesling. Hints of lime, honeydew, little to no RS, lots of minerality, a bit of petrol, but slightly camphorous. Lush lean mouthfeel with acidity and weight from the minerality. Long cleansing finish. I do think this is a slightly closed teenage stage, which I find of a lot of Aussie Riesling between 3-8 years of age. Fantastic apertif though.

Lime and petrol. Will wait a few years for my last bottle to see if it develops into something more interesting.

Very dry. Lime and mineral. Good acidity. Seemed to lack the intensity I expect from this wine.
