  Quick decant. Nose of white flowers, tropical fruits, and a "not quite" petrol note. Deep and rich palate of cooked pineapple, apricot, white peach, honeysuckle, and a hint of cardamom. Lush, broad palate of white fruit, melon, honeycomb, and granite with medium-minus acidity.

  30 minutes of air, brimming with stone fruit and white flowers both nose and on the tongue. Such a great wine

  Quick decant. Floral nose with white peach, honey, and light citrus. Palate delivers a burst of lemon, lime acidity, and more white peach. Finish of grilled peach, orange pulp, honey and a light bitter note providing balance at the finale. Best Riesling we've had in a while!

  Lots of Riesling character on the nose; fresh lime, clementine, and citrus blossom. Bright high acidity on the palate, though with a nice smooth/round mouthfeel. A bit warmer in flavors than suggested by the nose- key lime pie, mandarins, whipped cream, a touch of residual sweetness. The finish is medium in length with an emphasis on citrus flavors. Very surprising that the label says 13.5% ABV- I never would have expected it to be this high, and it hides it well!

  Excellent. Quite floral on the nose but the acidity is spot on. Perfect with an asian stir fry.
