  May 25, 2018 - Medium lemon, watery rim @11% abv. Medium aroams of petrole, lemon pith, peach, tropical fruit. Ultra-dry, high acidity, medium alcohol and medium body. Medium fruit-driven palate of lemon, pienapple, green apple, guava. Good length, with racy finish.
  Precise, reminiscent of Clare Valley-Eden Vale riesling in bome-dryness and austerity. Very enjoyable!

  November 18, 2016 - Bought 2 bottles. Totally get the tennis ball smell. A bit disappointed. Noted dryness for Riesling standards but lacked the crisp/cleanness I normally associate with a dry Riesling. Keeping the 2nd bottle for at least 2 years to see how it evolves.

  April 26, 2016 - Really nice dry Riesling. There are hints of rubber and lemon on the nose. Another note mentioned a can of freshly popped tennis balls, which I totally get. There is rhubarb, mineral, and pear on the palate. I like drier Rieslings, so this is right in my wheelhouse. A good QPR.

  January 30, 2016 - Interesting aromatics here. Nose is oily with rubber characteristics. It calms with air and yields a very nice, balanced dry Riesling. This profile has been consistent across several vintages from the same producer in my experoence. If you like Riesling and are into the "freshly opened can of tennis balls", this may be a home run. Otherwise, some may find it polarizing.

  June 6, 2015 - Light yellow straw color with citrus rhubarb nose. Tart flinty mineral with a hint of sweetness, gooseberry, kiwi fruit. The acid keeps it lively. A good drink with Asian, sushi or best with oysters.
