Colin McKone rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in colour with aromas of lemon, apple, stone fruit and orange. It is sparkling and medium bodied with mouthwatering acidity. On the palate you get flavours of red apple, peach with some biting citrus. This can be enjoyed in its own and it will also pair well with green salads or seafood. Tasted on September 16, 2018.
Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

On the nose, this Sparkling Riesling has apple aromas, as well as almond, clementine, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is medium bodied and deliciously zippy with flavours of crisp Granny Smith apple, lemon, clementine, and just a taste of peach. I love this one!

Wine-Food Pairing: Salty appetizers or a light summer salad.

Tasted September 2018

Bright and brilliant pale straw. Tart citrus notes, stone fruit and crisp apple. Pairs with almost anything. Tasted NV in Sept 2018. 90 points
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is a superb bubbly from Tawse. It brims with lemony acidity, lime zest, unripe stone fruit, green apple, orange blossom, and a faint hint of black currant bud. 92 Points.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
