Expert Reviews

Gold & 95 Pts - Halliday Rating.

Machine-harvested, destemmed, cultured yeast, three trophies Cowra Wine Show '15. This wine is raring to go, with lime leaves, lime juice and spice flying in all directions, which is no doubt why it won three trophies. It has a spine of acidity that will stand it in good stead over the next 5-10 years. - James Halliday, 6 October 2016.

92 Points - Decanter

Colour

Pale straw.

Aroma

Attractive on the nose with a wonderful mix of white peach and stone fruits lingering into fragrant and lifted aromas of orange and lemon.

Palate

Displaying vibrancy and character, the wine is fresh, crisp and well balanced. Beautiful flinty minerality adds depth and poise to this wine granting wonderful medium to long term cellaring potential.

Food

Riesling is perfectly matched to shellfish, freshly shucked oysters and delicate seafood, balancing the food with its crisp acidity.
