Beautiful fruit with zesty Limes, Pine-Lime, granny smith apple, a lovely minerality component, 'zingy' acidity, with a touch of a sweetness on a long and lingering finish.

A well-made Aussie Riesling. The nose had a deep waft of sweet stone fruit and more citrusy lemon aromas lined with a touch of minerality and then a lift of greener aromas. The palate had a ringing freshness to it - green apples, limes and green lemons I thought - with just an edge of the sweet stone fruit suggested on the nose coming out on the midpalate. The finish was nice and dry in spite of the weight of the wine, with a touch of mineral and citrus zest peeking out amidst the ripe fruit tones. Still young, this should get better with time in the bottle.

Just superb. Already showing aged characteristics but plenty more fruit and acid in the tank for another a day. Buy more!!

A very nice Riesling, fully dry, lemon zest and minerals. Not particularly grand or long, but very correct, good finish.

Has a nice touch of vanilla pod, that I associate with Eden Valley not Clare so much.
Nice 2017 acidity.
Otherwise too young to truly enjoy. Expect a higher score in a few years.
