Tasting
Note : |
The palate shows mineral like acidity balanced by green apple and lime like fruit flavours. The finish is crisp and clean with just a touch of residual sugar adding length. Great drinking now but it will develop lovely toasty bottle age characters if cellared.

Tasting
Note : |
The bouquet of this wine is very tropical, and the palate is a typically well-balanced example of riesling. Pure flavours on the palate framed by acidity and balanced by fruit sweetness. Nice low alcohol on the finish. Cellar for 3-5 years.

This is a cleansing and fragrant glassful with aromas of fresh flowers, lemons and hints of minerality. An elegant aromatic white with a definite outdoors personality. The palate is direct, well built, dry, fine and elegant - a taste of citrus and pineapple. Drink now or cellar for 5 years.

Note : |
A step up in quality, this attractive riesling is full bodied and very more-ish. Quite floral on the nose, the palate explodes with flavours of limes, lemons, minerals and hints of spice and white pepper. It is beautifully balanced, is elegant and has a nice, long finish. Excellent with grilled fish and caviar.

GREAT ALSATIAN RIESLING

Tasting
Note : |
"It has a lovely spicy, exotic aroma that sets it apart from most Australian rieslings. It's minerally on the nose and palate, and the mouthfeel is a highlight: soft, rich and fine with gentle acidity and no tartness. This all adds up to seamless quality. It does have richness and weight, but that doesn't stop the wine being light on its feet. It's probably best drunk within three of four years."
