First (colder) glass hits you with volatile components, petrol, honey on the nose. Extremely well balanced delicate green apple, fantastic acidity, medium heat. Once warmed up, the second glass brings out clear elements of citrus (lime), the petrol still present but softer, with stronger acidity throughout. The finish is subtle but lingering (8 seconds +). What a revelation for the price. Tasted the 2016 and was disappointed- the 2013 clearly demonstrates the potential lies in ageing.

Very pleasant. A nice Clare Valley riesling with lime juice all over it. Other classic riesling mineral notes then hints of kiwi fruit and other tropical aromas. Soft, lower acid, finish.

Another smart bottle. Best left alone but so very drinkable.
