  May 7, 2022 - Deep golden, but without any orange or amber hue. A chord of tropical fruits with mango dominating and minerals. A bit simple, but yummy. On the palate excellent intensity and balance between fruit, acid and a bit of well integrated sweetness. This was, hopefully, my last bottle. It was better some years ago. -2020, 5/11/15/7. 88 points, but I don't rate this, simply because it is not the wines fault, that I've forgotten it in the cellar. Still very good any way.

  July 16, 2020 - Golden. This is just gorgeous now. Peach, apricot, slate, mango, spices. Fully mature this should be drunk up in the next few years. Great balance between sweetness, fruit and acidity. Maybe it will last longer, but why take the risk. Great bargain! 5/12/17/8

  December 9, 2019 - Mid lemon to straw with green edges.
  Plenty of lifted floral notes of white flowers, lillies, jasmine, frangipane and lemon. Intense and deep.
  Strident, incisive acidity on entry met with a fabulous RS. The RS is fructophilic so glassy textured with a narrow linear feel, like the Storms River canyon. A direct, focused wine with depth of flavour, this is alpine fresh and surrounded by juicy lemons, wild white flowers and fresh apple. With a touch of richness on the back palate, this is a simple, refreshing Riesling that is utterly drinkable! Showing better than 1 year ago.

  September 23, 2018 - Alc: 9.5%; Pale straw-gold, green-y edge
  Lifted aromas of white flowers, jasmine, spring flowers, lime blossom, honeysuckle and peach blossom.
  Off-dry with a firm blade of acidity. Bright fruit flavours, glassy texture with minerals, ripe mango and floral elements. Simple, refreshing wine (given 2008) with a good depth of flavour with an elegant finish. Fun to try, at the drinking window.

  April 14, 2018 - Golden. Quince, peach, honeysuckle and spicy minerals. On the palate it shows good balance between fruit, sweetness and acidity. Not highly complex but yummy. -2022+ if cellared in cool cellar since release.
  5/10/16/8
  P.S. On day two it developes some tropical nuances, as well as raspberries.
