  Very distinct riesling -- unmistakably of that grape, but certainly not of any Teutonic persuasion. The nose is remarkably herbal and green, with pronounced lime zest throughout. Minerally and electric. The palate is bone dry, and shows lots of structure and acidity but also a lightness and refreshing Gerolsteiner-like minerality on the palate.

  21st Canberra International Riesling Challenge (Albert Hall, Canberra): Medium minus intensity aromas of sulphur, red apple, slight earth, spice, medium plus intensity acidity, tangy apple fruit with a touch of apple skin bitterness and texture on the finish…a little lemon here as well. Nice.

  Colour palest lemon fading to water , very slight tinge of green 15/15
  Nose wonderfully balanced nose , lemon and lime aromatics followed by green apple, hints of mandarin rind and talcy mineral notes on one side and beautiful florals - white blossoms on the other , both work in harmony ,neither one dominates 29/30
  Palate this follows on from the nose , once again beautifully balanced , full fruit intensity and mouthfeel , flavours of lemon, lime and green apple chewy acidity that gives the dry finish a fresh crunchy feel. Hard to fault 43/44
  Overall Super Riesling 10/11
