Old vines, cool-climate region, track record and an excellent season. Ducks in a row, so to speak. Price quoted here is full RRP – I’d imagine you’ll find a sharper price. A beautiful riesling release. It’s sharp and long and yet it has weight and depth. Apples of various colour, lime, floral notes and lemon/grapefruit pith. Fruit has a juicy whisper of sweetness. Both textural and bitter as it races along the tongue. Fantastic, steely, sherberty length. It’s tight for now yet it still makes a clear impact. Gorgeous.

Palish colour, bright, and a slight 'buttered toast' impression on the nose. Firm and dry, and a touch astringent, with a tight and almost austere finish. A slightly oddball wine, but very attractive drinking, especially with food. Indeed, when served as a drink, with a meal, it came into its own. Excellent wine, tightly focused, penetrating and long, with an assured future.
