Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

Light straw.

Aroma

A delightful mix of citrus, zest and floral notes headline the bouquet of this wine with subtle hints of green apple.

Palate

This wine has a fresh, crisp and zippy palate with brilliant fresh cut lime acidity and a lovely minerality that the Eden Valley is renowned for. Drinking well now, it also has tremendous cellaring potential.

Food

Riesling is a delightful food wine and its crisp acidity will match perfectly with freshly shucked oysters and seafood.
