A delightful floral pungency greets the uncapping. A few years in our cellar programme has seen this pure riesling fill out a little in the mid-palate, developing a little more viscosity, whilst retaining its essential tension. The classic riesling attributes of citrus, minerality and flowers are present along with characteristic Eden Valley soft acidity. This one is still on a journey. It should improve even further over the next 2 to 3 years. Delicious with yum cha.

Highly expressive release. It sure is up and about. Cool, pristine aromas of lime and lime blossom with travels of talc asserting through the finish. Steely, almost gravelly character to the aftertaste. Brilliantly dry. There’s an element to this of sucking on stones and quartz, if that makes sense. In short, it’s a gorgeous young riesling. It will age but it’s a perfect candidate for riesling drinking this coming summer.
