Quite ripe and expressive with orchard fruit aromas and flavours a plenty. It is cut with some citrus and pulpy and textural on the palate. Alcohol is 12% and length of flavor is good.

Still very young, a bit CO2, bonedry, sharp acidity, citrus flavours, but also salty minerality and a good finish. On day 2 and with a lot of air more balanced and structured. Needs more cellaring or with rustic / heavy food...

Light gold colour. A nose of green apples, limes, grapefruit with a hint of bauxite and other minerals. A sense of sweetness on the attack but the acids really kick in on the mid and, especially, back palate. At present quite straightforward, primary and a touch aggressive. Flavours of citrus, green apple and some chalk; a hint of pineapple. Needs time of course. Good value at less than NZ$30.

Lovely aged riesling character - honey, minerality, aged fruit characters. Drinking at peak.

Green apple, Lime, Lychee. Quite perfumed and aromatic with a fairly long finish. Just a touch of development
