James Suckling 94 Points | I love the very delicate and subtle nose of lemon and lime blossoms. Sleek, elegant and focused, this is an excellent Eden Valley dry riesling with wonderful mineral and lime zest freshness at the long precise finish.
Australian Wine Companion 94 Points | A highly floral bouquet spanning citrus blossom and rose petals. A fresh and bright palate has the expected length and balance, promising much for the future.
Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | The wine’s delicate appeal arrives at first sniff in the form of lemon-lime and white florals, with a touch of honey and beeswax. The palate is dry and crisp with piercing acidity and a limey finish. A few more years in bottle should round things out— consider cellaring until 2030 or beyond.
