    May 31, 2022 - Nice balance of petrol, lime, rocks, with good acidity that’s nicely in balance at this point, off dry leaning dry. It’s not very complex but it’s good quality Riesling with down the middle varietal character and the stuffing to age further and stand up to a wide variety of food. ~7/10

    October 11, 2020 - Bracing, with a steely, citrus infused profile that is subtly dusted with residual sugar. It shows as just past trocken, but finishes completely dry. Refreshing and food friendly, it was pure pleasure for our light lunch, the zestiness of the wine playing counterpoint to the cured Arctic char.

    December 31, 2019 - Had this wine at New Years dinner with a couple of friends. I didn't take any notes. Wide open on the nose with crunchy green fruit, zesty lime, wet rocks and some petrol. A bit of RS, really high acidity and gives a steely impression. Great concentration and length. Drinking very good now but will probably live for quite a long time.
