Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Amberissey on 6/24/2022 & rated 87 points: Fantastic at the price point. Juicy lime citrus. Not as petrolly or mineral as some of the region (851 views)
 Tasted by sjw_11 on 5/14/2022 & rated 92 points: Excellent young dry riesling, fresh and zippy, impeccably clean and pure, with lemon/lime characters and bright acidity. So drinkable now, would be the perfect match to a warm evening on the porch or a plate of fresh seafood. 92+ (733 views)
 Tasted by ProfByron on 1/23/2022 & rated 90 points: Another thoroughly enjoyable 2021 riesling from South Australia. This vintage has lifted the quality far above the price point for these wines.
