...a classically structured and balanced riesling, already with plenty of zesty lime flavours underpinned by good acidity; will develop very well over many years.

Simply a belter. Really pretty floral and citrus driven aromatics, a touch of lavender in there and a bit of talc. Palate is bright and vibrant, zingy, zesty and clean. Great crunch of acid and a lemony lift, some spice and a trace of chalky mineral appeal. Quenches thirst, has crackling structure, finishes long and just a faint kiss of honeysuckle sweetness. Geez this is good drinking, saddle up for summer. Or now.

It has some bubble gum-like aromas but it's all class from there. Indeed it's a scintillating wine. Drives of lime, sherbert, talc and slate. Piercing length. Smoky/gunmetal-like aftertaste. Tremendous finish - for persistence and finesse.

One of Australia's greatest white wine bargains is as classy as ever in 2011. A tightly lined opening of musk gradually reveals a precision thread of lime and honeyed citrus notes. The acidity is bracing and clean and never smothers this beautiful wine. One of Australia's greatest white wine bargains is as classy as ever in 2011.

It should be one of your go-to Rieslings this summer. Its a straight-shooting burst of lime but what I really like is the rindy, crunchy bite of flavour on the finish. This has excellent power... Pure lemon and lime but with something extra. Bargain.
