On the nose: Brie cheese, green apple. On the palate: very fruity, good body, mostly apple. Fine sweet wine. Had with a salad and chicken—very good with the salad, which had white cheddar, walnuts and cranberries. Just okay with the chicken.

Actually quite a bit better than expected. Had with Chinese takeout, which is always a winner with Riesling, but it still surprised me. Decent acidity with the sweetness in control, floral notes on the nose. Good finish. Probably won't buy again,with all the QbA out there to explore, but wouldn't be ashamed to recommend.

Light golden in colour, perhaps looks a touch developed for the age. Rich nose of ripe lemon and citrus fruits. Smells like a ripe Crawford River. Riper and more intense again to taste. Less lemon, more dry generic in style. Very complete palate, quite serious and gets progressively drier and minerally on the finish. Very well made and structured but value is an issue at somewhere above $45 pb. The use of a re-usable glass stopper is a fantastic idea and I can vouch for the wine’s freshness 3 days after the initial opening. In fact I would go so far as to claim it blows a stelvin seal away.

Good Riesling. But seemed forgettable and had a short finish. Maybe it's because the glass I got wasn't fresh.
