  June 8, 2012 - Great minerality and intense wine. Crisp dry finish. Served blind we thought it was a $25 wine - it was $9 bought at supermarket that week! Stunning.

  August 31, 2008 - Very decent and enjoyable Riesling from NZ. Distinct petrol nose and nice lifted refreshing palate of citrus and some tropical fruits. Nothing to get carried away with but pleasant enough.

  May 8, 2008 - nose: big amounts of petrol(almost diesel fuelish) on the nose with some citrus tones of orange peel and lemon-lime
  
  taste: smooth and easy with some more pronounced mineral tones along with light citrus tones of orange peel and lemon-lime tones
  
  overall: a nice wine, nothing really to get excited about but decent nonetheless

  March 8, 2008 - Pale yellow colour. A very pleasant nose shows lots of flowers, some citrus and minerals with faint notes of orange peel, but the palate doesn't live up - it's quite dry with some steely minerals, tart citrus fruit flavours and a slightly disjointed mouthfeel with a little warmth on the finish.
