Gold Medal (Elite), 96 pts at the Canberra International Riesling Challenge
(equal highest score for an Australian Riesling)
Mount Barker 87%, Porongurup 13%, 12.1% alcohol
Very pale straw. The nose shows fresh lemons and lime, with lots of florals – violets and lemon blossom. There’s also talc and a whiff of musk. The palate has cleansing acidity, with a touch of minerality and lemon sherbet. It is slightly restrained at this early age but perfectly balanced.
A beautifully made wine of great delicacy and purity, reflective of its cool-climate origin. The freshly-zested lemon aromas are extraordinary and quite singular in their expression. The palate is focused and bright with citrusy acidity on the finish. Fruit purity and aromatic intensity are the hallmarks of this graceful wine. Drink 2019–2027
