Mature, singular Riesling from Margaret River's pioneers
A lovely rounded nose of beeswax, yellow grapefruit and wet stone. Medium-bodied with bright acidity that lifts up the slightly savory, warm citrus and stone fruit palate. Focused with a pleasantly refreshing finish. Subtle tannins peeking out.
92 points James Suckling, October 2022
Pale lemon colour. The aromas are fresh and clean, citrusy in the lemon and lime spectrum, rather than flowery. The palate is dry and tight, clean and crisp, but with some breadth and well-handed grip.

The 2014 Riesling Art Series opens with key lime pie and jasmine aromas, fanning out to lanolin, allspice and beeswax. This wine is dry, very fresh and pure, with a long, steely finish.
90+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown for The Wine Advocate, March 2016
Hard wine to criticise. It's not especially intense but its flavours of lime juice, fennel and spice are most attractive. Runs clear and pure through the finish.
90 points Halliday Wine Companion, June 2021
