Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"This wine has lifted lemon and floral aromatics with a touch of lanolin. The palate is dry and zesty with bright acidity, an elegant palate and a mouth-watering minerality. This is a single vineyard wine produced from just one pick from our Waihopai block in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. The 2020 vintage was great for Riesling so we picked at the perfect time, maximising the intense flavours."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2020 Vintage)
"It's immediately appealing on the nose, showing lemon curd, apricot, orange peel and subtle spice aromas, followed by a juicy palate offering fleshy texture backed by elegant sweetness and beautifully pitched acidity. Elegantly flavoursome with a prolonged, delicious finish. Style: Medium-dry. At its best: now to 2032."
4 Stars Yvonne Lorkin, January 2025 (2020 Vintage)
"Four and a bit years on from vintage, this riesling from one of Marlborough’s founding families has just been released and is showing delicious, maturing characters. Ultra-cleansing, lime-laced, and hosting a hint of weetbix, kero notes and Granny Smith tension on the nose and palate, it’s a an ultra-refreshing style. Notes of bright lemon, soft herbs, and beeswax give it buckets of personality and pluck. It’s a major boat-floater where fans of bright citrus are concerned, and it’s definitely the wine you should seek to sip with sauerkraut and sausages."
