Pale straw with green in colour. This Riesling has fragrant aromas of fresh lime and musk. A juicy, vibrant palate with luscious citrus and crisp mineral acidity for drinkability when young, but also rewarding time in the cellar.
The fruit for this Riesling was hand harvested from the Tamar Valley and Relbia regions in Tasmania. 2022 In Tasmania was again one of many challenges, with each of the sub regions behaving even more differently from each other than usual. The Tamar Valley was well ahead of all other regions from the outset and performed strongly, with little disease pressure at all and warm sunny days bringing in clean fruit with solid flavour early in the season. The outcome of this tricky season is aromatic wines with complex flavour concentration, ripe structure and lovely mid palate.
95 Point Rated - Dave Brookes James Halliday Wine Companion
"Pale straw in the glass with notes of lime, lemon zest, green apple and juicy peach fruits with hints of orange blossom, apple tarte Tatin, poached pears, crushed stone and lemon sherbet. Wonderful clarity and a tangy, mineral-laden driveline that provides velocity and frames the fruit beautifully. Great drinking."
