Pale in colour with light green tinges. Lifted aromatics of citrus, lime and lemons balanced with some perfumes, floral and sherbet notes. A complex bouquet that will entice the drinker. The palate is clean, long and well balanced with seamless acidity and a tight mineral, steely edge.
The 2015 vintage will be remembered as short, swift and sensational. The season started with good early and mid-winter rains, however August to November saw virtually no rain. Budburst started in early to mid-September with a rapid onset of fruit set. The near perfect, mild ripening conditions continued through December and early January. Mid-January saw rainfalls of 50mm replenishing soil moisture and setting the vines for perfect ripening conditions. The warmer weather in February accelerated ripening with vintage starting in the last week of January. The whites and reds show wonderful aromas and good natural acidy, with the reds showing very strong colour.
94 Points By James Halliday
"Lively, fresh lime blossom aromas are a great start, and set the course for the crisp, intense palate, acidity lending its weight to a very attractive riesling at a bargain price." - James Halliday Wine Companion
