  Lots for the wordsmiths to chew on with this one. Petroleum, wet stone, rubber, fresh cut lumber, honeysuckle, gooseberry and a full bouquet of florals brimming on the nose. Stunning. Honey, pear, fresh citrus, minerals, white peach, lemon zest and golden apple join the chorus on the mouthwateringly acidic palate with a crisp and enticing length and breadth. Captivatingly detailed, silky and crushably crisp, this gem of a WA riesling is a real stunner from front to back.

  Paired well with jollof and doubles. Sharpness cut through the spice and sweetness knocked it down.

  Honey, lychee, honeydew melon, pear. A bit too sweet for my taste, but very nice.

  2120. No detailed notes. Light, crisp and acidity. Citrus flavors and a short finish. Would drink again here.
