October 7, 2022 - Good aged riesling. Lemon/lime fruit, well developed toasty secondary characteristics.

September 3, 2021 - See previous note. For this bottle I also picked up some floral notes and a hint of butter. The back palate shows that signature steely taste for Riesling.
This is good but for me Clare Valley is the place to go for South Australian Riesling. Drink up. -

September 30, 2012 - Not a high point for Rockford. And who in Australia still seals riesling under cork? If there was a case for not putting riesling under cork, this was probably it, as it may have been some of the cause of this wine's premature ageing. Golden yellow in colour. Petrol/kerosene, honey, and citrus fruit on the nose, but with the fruit in the background. Same in the mouth. It seems like all the secondary flavours dominate over the usual Eden Valley limes. Acid seems a bit flat. It's OK and drinkable, but it's like a savoury version of a riesling.
