February 23, 2018 - An excellent Clare Valley riesling from a great vintage. Just starting to show a yellow hue and taking on additional weight. Typical lemons and limes fruit and an excellent bit not over powering acid structure to make it a refreshing summer wine. Fantastic value

January 14, 2017 - Riesling Rampage 2017: Floral with musk and lemon. Really good purity on the palate, the balance here is excellent with push and drive from the acidity and the fruit sweetness countering it with style. Not quite as much depth as I'd like to be able to love this, but it may well come with time.
