This is a glorious Riesling nose. Spices, lemon sherbet notes, limes, florals. Just gorgeous. Fine and focused with excellent length and crunchy acidity. Lingers beautifully on the finish. A really good Riesling, thrilling now, but even better with another decade under its belt.
96 points Ken Gargett winepilotTime in bottle so far has brought excellent concentration and a real Eden Valley-style beauty and sense of place, not to mention attractive textural qualities. Acidity is the quiet star. You know it’s there, you know it will keep the wine going for a good 10-15 years, possibly more.

Pale straw with golden hues and a silver rim. Aroma is fresh, clean and delicate with lifted lemon characters and hints of dried spice. Soft notes of honey and shortbread. Lemon curd and zest are balanced by hints of brioche. Vibrant minerality and ethereal acid provide good structure and a juicy mouthwatering finish. Made to age, this Riesling will last in the cellar for 20+ years.
