August 26, 2023 - Golden yellow in color. Lovey aromas of ripe peaches, orange-yellow citrus, herbal essences and honeysuckle. Sweet attack of honeyed yellow orchard fruits, herbs are buttressed with good acidity that leads of a long off-dry finish.

April 30, 2023 - Nose is calm with citrus, tropical fruit and honeysuckle. Palate is lush, juicy and refined. Smooth mouthfeel with a sweet touch, but still refreshing and not to gooey as the acidity gives this wine a nice apple flavour. This is very balanced out at the moment and a perfect food companion for spicy dishes or just solo as a digestif.

April 23, 2023 - 9 out of 9 people who tasted from this bottle really liked it. Could age another ten years with no problem. Cheers!

February 9, 2023 - Decanted 30 minutes before service. In the glass, a clear, gorgeous honeyed amber. On the nose, a reserved mix of citrus and tropical fruits. The reticence ends on the palate, with an assault of lychee, passionfruit, mango, and oranges, with a creamy body and enough acidity to keep this at least somewhat out of dessert wine territory (although it's debatable). Either way, a pleasurable Riesling.

August 24, 2022 - Light golden yellow in color. Superb aromas of orchard pit fruits, hint of honey suckle, herbal oils, lemon curd. Palate is awash with perfectly ripe jellied peaches, good tension of acidity and sugar, and a long herbal and honeyed finish. This is drinking well now.
