  lovely pale straw, developed kero nose. limey fruit supported by enough acid to carry it forward for a few more years. Very nice wine.

  pale yellow straw, developing citric nose. Surprisingly fresh on the front with plenty of acid and fruit for a nearly 10 yr old riesling. Lovely balance and long finish. This wine should develop more toasty notes with time. No rush. very nice wine

  Pale straw colour. limey nose. plenty of acid up front for a 9 yr old. lovely fruit that follows thru to a long finish. A very nice wine that could develop further given its lineage.

  This is a puppy under stelvin. Lots of fruit on the front with enough acid to see it through several more years of development. long finish. Great wine from great riesling winemakers. Plenty of years ahead. Will be interesting to watch it develop over the next decade

  The colour said it all in terms of freshness - still vibrant, light young and clear. The taste very much followed. Still very freshly acidic with lemons, apple and melon. The finish perhaps a little tart rather than smoother, longer, more developed. Presents as a young classical fresh dry Australian Riesling. Couldn’t help being impressed by the apparent longevity. Really nice wine.
