  Nice sweet tone, a bit sparkly which was strange. Bit of melon and lemon. Good length and balance.

  This tastes nicely mature now, the tangerine and lemon sherbert fruit is more to the fore than the mild kerosene now, at least in this bottle, there’s a nice weight in the palate, it’s off dry and neither the acidity or sugar sticks out it’s so nicely balanced. The finish goes on for a long time. It doesn’t feel like this will fade too soon but it’s the best bottle from the case and showing what a classy wine it is.

  Precise flavours, generous tropical fruit and sweet, but balance is definitely here. Still so young, screw cap really slows aging

  This is an absolutely fantastic riesling still showing well. In a recent vertical from 2006 - 2016, this was clearly in the top 2 wines. One of the best white wines NZ makes.

  Lemon yellow in colour. Minimal aged characteristics despite being 9 years old. Botrytis showing on the nose with marmalade and zest. Great mouthfeel with slight zing... balanced sweetness. Could drink it all day!
