Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: The ever-food-friendly Riesling pairs beautifully with a whole host of fare. My note: Just smelling this wine makes my mouth water! Gorgeous, drop-to-your-knees aromas of peach, flint, petrol (that’s good), lime zest and happiness. Racy! Food matches: grilled chicken with herbs, barbecued prawns with lemon zest and basil stuffing, roasted stuffed red peppers.

Apple, toast aromas. Lime, butter, peach/apricot, stonefruit flavours. Tasted Nov/2010.
Lesley rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This review is for the 2011 vintage, and what a steely vintage it is. Delicious notes of a slightly under ripe peach and just the right amount of petrol. This wine is very easy to drink and pair with, I had it with some East Coast Oysters, and it was yummy. Aww the beauty of a good Riesling!
