Very light straw colour with a lifted aroma of tropical fruits, passionfruit, guava and lychee, the palate juicy and intense, not excessively dry but vibrant and energetic with terrific depth of fruit flavour and persistence. This has a bright future. 09 JUL 2022 Drink 2023–2034

The 2022 season was one of the coldest and wettest, with record rains, frost free spring, a welcome change from the previous years of drought affected crops. However, a hailstorm in January 2022 caused 50% loss of some crops. The harvest was near perfect dry, and cool conditions, resulting in very high quality fruit of wonderful balance.
Intense lemony/lavender nose, clean bright and lifted. The wine is very delicate and fine, with lingering lime fruit. A beautifully balanced riesling of acid, fruit and texture. A high quality wine with many years cellaring potential.
A versatile wine that will complement a variety of cuisenes. Drinks beautifully now with grilled whiting.
Cellar for 25+ years, although if you prefer fresh crisp whites, drink it now.
