Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Something that’s ‘in the limelight’ is the focus of attention – which will certainly be the case with our Riesling! Classic aromatics of lime, citrus and flint with a refreshing lemon acidity, perfectly balanced by notes of sweet wild thyme honey."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Pristine and exquisitely styled, showing elegant aromas of white flesh peach, lime peel, Granny Smith apple and floral on the nose. The concentrated palate displays outstanding weight and flow, combined with fine texture and subtle sweetness, finishing impressively long and vibrant. Gorgeously detailed and refined. Style: Off-dry. At its best: 2023 to 2035."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Fantastic aromatics with a bouquet of fresh white peach and limes, apple and white flowers, there’s a sense of place and time with a polished stone mineral quality and plush ripe fruit scents driven by vintage. Off-dry as the wine touches the palate, this is very brief as the sweetness is replaced by the drive of acidity offering balance and contrast. Flavours from the bouquet layer throughout the palate and are persistent. Perfectly balanced for drinking from day of purchase and through 2029+."
Rated Classic & 5 Stars, Michael Cooper, April 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"This single-vineyard wine is estate-grown and hand-harvested at Bendigo, in Central Otago. Still unfolding, the 2021 vintage is a medium style (35 grams/litre of residual sugar), mostly cool-fermented in tanks (90 per cent); 10 per cent of the blend was fermented with indigenous yeasts in old French oak barrels. Bright, light lemon/green, it is freshly scented and intensely varietal, with penetrating, lemony, appley flavours, showing excellent delicacy and vigour, a distinct touch of complexity, and a finely poised, gently sweet finish. Best drinking 2025+."
