Concentrated flavours and ripe, fresh acid create a beautifully balanced expression of low alcohol Riesling. This wine is sweet but the balance as such is that it appears much drier. It is intense and has an ethereal length and cleansing finish that displays all the complexities that make Riesling such a great variety.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Expressive and open on the nose, with vibrant citrus, lime-flower and beeswax characters. The palate leads with a fragrant, fresh-cut-lime acidity, which dances over notes of wildflower honey, elderflower, apricot and dried mango. There is not inconsiderable sweetness here, but the freshening acidity brings balance, creating a pleasing and moreish impression in the glass.
This wine makes the perfect apéritif but is also surprisingly versatile. Consider serving alongside a cheese platter, with chicken liver parfait, or with south-east Asian cuisine, especially anything seafood-based, with coconut and a bit of chilli heat. Our recommendation, coconut-crusted sugar-cane prawns with nuoc cham."

5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, November 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Concentrated dessert riesling with lime zest, mineral and white flower flavours. The wine has exquisite sweet-and-sour tension and a lingering finish. A serious spätlese style at a bargain price."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"It's fabulously restrained and elegant with crunchy apple, nectarine, lemon curd and flinty aromas on the nose, leading to a brilliantly fine palate offering seductive sweetness and racy acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. Excellent tension and drive. Certified organic. At its best: 2024 to 2034."
