    A Riesling that is both intense and textural. This vintage is a terrific year for Riesling with slightly larger berries that gave the wines great flavour and purity. Perfectly balanced flavours include exotic fruits, citrus and orange blossom. The length is long and profound. From high and cool sites in Lenswood and Mt Torrens. The grapes were all hand picked. Half were whole bunch pressed and half were crushed and pressed, each fermented separately. The wine was blended and then spent four months on lees prior to bottling.

    A pretty and approachable riesling with tonnes of floral and sweet citrus lift. Attractive in the bouquet, gentle though, jasmine and honeysuckle whiffs with candied, mixed citrus peel, green tea and lime, flavours more set to that sweeter citrus spectrum though the wine finishes with gentle dryness and some sage leaf notes and a squirt of pink grapefruit juice. There's a sense of evenness and good extension of flavour too. A pleasing, easy-drinking riesling that feels refreshing and quietly interesting at once.

    Pale colour with dissolved gas evident; the bouquet is very flowery, rose-petal/pot-pourri, red apple and passionfruit, the palate rich and broad, full and almost opulent, with a tickle of sweetness augmenting the generous fruit on palate which nevertheless finishes dry. This is different: there is richness aplenty, a rounded middle palate shape with plenty of fruit, if not yet complexity.
