One of delightful suppliers - after much cajoling - let us have a very limited allowance of this awesome 6 year old vintage Riesling that shines from the bottle. A gentle bouquet of light golden lemons and lime. Grassy, lightly citric palate with a confident structural backbone and ample concentration and length. A gorgeous, fine and powerful Riesling that will live for some years yet.
A beautiful secluded valley north west of Watervale harbours the grapes from which this secretive wine was pressed. The vineyard benefits from the shading effect of the steep valley sides, resulting in estate grown wines of great finesse and elegance.
A fine Riesling that will live some years yet.
A bumper vintage saw a few pallets of this premium Riesling put aside for release at a later date; the winery in question has decided to close its production once and for all, meaning these bottles are now being moved out of storage and sold off to those lucky to get their hot little hands on them!
