May 11, 2020 - Opened with a Greek themed Mother’s Day dinner. Very light and pale color, almost clear. Not too impressive at first, but after about 20 minutes it started showing really nice fruit flavors dominated by lemon zest, with lime and some melon. Nice dinner partner and very good QPR at $13.

May 10, 2019 - Classic Clare Riesling. Fresh and varietal. Lacking just a little depth of fruit on the palate.

February 1, 2019 - Much like my previous tasting note. Faint flavors - like it has gone through a flavor filter. Stone friut, citrus, mineral, a touch of petrol. A very neutral reisling. Probably good for cutting spicy dishes

September 19, 2018 - Very good.
Clear, very pale, water-white to lemon-green.
Clean, youthful nose of medium intensity, with lemon, lime and lime flower.
Dry, medium (+) tingling acidity, medium (-) alcohol (12%), medium bodied, medium (+) flavour intensity, with lemon, lime and crisp apple. Medium length.
Very good. Refined acid, combined with the pure fruit flavors, make for an exceptional QPR wine with great Clare Valley typicity.
Can drink now, but will develop with age. To be honest, this is probably too young, but the lightness of the acid profile, makes it very enjoyable already.
Screwcap, INAO tasting glass. -

August 12, 2018 - Clear, almost no colour, perhaps a slight green tinge.
Nose is clean with freshly squeezed lemons and limes. Citrus candy. Newly cut green grass.
Body is light, high acidity, very little residual sugar, if any at all. Lemon and lime sherbet. Salty, wet rocks. Minerally driven wine.
Finish is medium length but the juicy acidity keeps the mouth salivating. Very good dry Riesling that is drinkable now but with more to come for 5-10 years.
