An extraordinary Riesling, close to perfection, and fully capturing the tight mineral texture and mouthfeel possible when low-cropped fruit is harvested from red soils overlying limestone. Deeply scented with pure citrusy fruit and small flowers, with a classy balance between texture, acidity and a suggestion of sweetness, it’s a genuinely dry style that exemplifies what a great international Riesling Clare can produce’ – 98 Points Jeremy Oliver, The Australian Wine Annual
Pale straw-green; the bouquet is filled with fragrance, the palate following suit; I cannot resist enumerating the aromas and flavours claimed on the label: fresh lemon citrus, rosewater, kaffir lime leaves, musk, verbena, jasmine(bouquet), honeydew melon, grapefruit and lemongrass (palate). Well, it's a lovely wine. 95 Points; James Halliday
A little flowery and estery on opening but its main characteristics are explosive fruit power and terrific length. Well stacked flavours of lime and riper tastes like honeydew melon fill the mouth and deceptively soft acids ease their way forward, although given some air, it seemed to tighten up considerably. Noted a light sort of gin and tonic flavour in the aftertaste that was highly appealing. Has clarity, purity and big flavour along with that elusive mineral edge that we all seem to fancy so much. I had it scored at 94 or 95, but given that it’s still resonating with me, decided to take the high road – there’s some wines you just really like. 95 Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
