March 20, 2013 - We found this bottle in the back our our wine celler and was afraid we had missed the window to enjoy. Surprisingly, wine still had a very crisp taste with lime citrus overtones. Semi-dry.
The wine looks Straw colored. It smells like and Lime. It tastes like and Lime. The body is Light/Medium. The wine finishes Medium.
July 19, 2009 - Aroma of petroleum jelly, apricots, and honey. Superb acidity in the mouth, with lots of vibrant tropical fruit. A superb value.
May 22, 2009 - very pale and clear. subtle floral and mineral. Somewhat Sauvignon Blanc-like. Reminds me of a good white from Friuli. bright acidity at first. opens up into a very nice slghtly off-dry aperitif. crisp lime, granny apple and minerals. Great balance. Great
May 21, 2007 - Lemon zest.
It sort of jumps out at you.
This wine is crisp, with a little bit of sweetness in all the right spots. Quite enjoyable, especially for the $6 price tag.
Would definitely buy again - maybe even a case.
Our rating: :-)
February 3, 2007 - i agree with the "lively" description. bright acidity and a big dose of lemon peel. very enjoyable.
October 13, 2006 - Clean colour with nice fruit and good finish. Prefer the old world riesling's although this was very nice.
October 12, 2006 - Vineyard Brand tasting. Hay color. Super bright nose, full of citrus, maybe lemons. There's some real minerality here. Lots of citrus, a little sweetness that's not really noticable because of the loads of acids. This wine is extremely lively, jumping out at you. I'd have to eat this with food, to give that acidity something to bite into. 85-88.
May 17, 2006 - Clear, developed riesling/petrolly nose, dry on the palate with good fruit & balance. Overall a nice example of NZ riesling.
