“There’s a sense of brilliance to this wine too. It’s laser-sharp, with a white pepper zing, crunchy celery and grapefruit, pristine green fruit flavours, and so crisp. Snap fresh and long in a proper cool climate mode. Importantly, this bone-dry Riesling never feels hard, with perfectly natural acidity making this feel carefully defined, with bitterness, but not to the point of hardness.
I love this Riesling mode. There is a fair argument that it is too linear and too crystalline, but the pristine angles and compact intensity are pretty great.”
“It opens with an initial citrussy floral nose, a prominent grapefruit palate lift and a soupcon of tamarind twirling in the background.
It’s currently a refreshing, evolving young cool-climate Riesling reminiscent of some of the Austrian Germanic styles.
It delivers a multi-layered grippy, sweet ‘n’ tart fruit-driven punch of vibrancy.”
“A gentle expression of riesling with its floral and spice aromas, while the palate is all citrusy with a thirst-quenching lemon-barley water flavour. The back label says this is bone-dry yet there’s texture throughout, as if there’s a slip of sweetness rounding out the palate. Either way, a lovely drink.”
