August 10, 2022 - This is still going strong. It tastes drier than previous bottles, with mainly citrus fruits and some apple on the medium bodied, elegant, slightly minerally and dry palate. Nothing special, but a solid entry level wine that is probably at peak now (B+/A-).

February 11, 2021 - Light straw in colour with a slight tinge of green. Red apple, pineapple, peach, lemon, lime and mineral on the light to moderate nose. The palate has improved since I last tasted it, with a great balance of fruit, acid and minerals. Off dry, with a complex suite of citrus and stonefruit flavours and a slight creamy texture in the mid palate. Really quite nice for a entry level riesling. It seems in no danger of decline anytime soon (A-).

November 30, 2019 - Light gold colour. Lots of peach and stone fruit on the nose. Peach/pear and minerality on first taste. Off-dry with some acidity and very distinct sweet aftertaste. Worked well as aperitif with mild cheeses as well as baked ham main.
