Petrol, pineapple and apricot on the nose. Similar on the palate. Off dry and a bit harsh on the finish. Better paired with food than on it's own. Good value at the price point.

Although a fan of the Spy Valley sauvignon blanc, the riesling came across as flabby - it wasn't overly sweet, but it lacked the acidity I like in rieslings. Nevertheless, a drinkable product with lemon and honey notes most prominent.

Bright acidity, with great balance of fruit, sweetness, acidity, and minerality. Light in body, fresh, lemony and tang. Truly lip smacking with a very nice and clean finish. Excellent wine.

2011 Sydney International Wine Show - Top 100 tasting (Menzies Hotel, Sydney): {screwcap, 12.5%} Youthful nose of chalk, lemons and steel. The lemon-curd and apple flavours have an off-dry sweetness to them, there’s a load of tangy acid which positively sparkles on the palate, and although it’s only light-bodied it’s fresh, lively and balanced, leading to a persistent, long clean finish. Excellent.
