Oddball geeky wine for sure - cross of Riesling and Sylvaner from the remote Central Otago region.
Agree with the comments - certainly more Riesling on the nose (shower curtain, tropical fruit), with Sylvaner coming in more on the palate (green fruit, white pepper, herbaceous ness). A light, insanely drinkable wine with surprisingly layers of complexity (is that schisty minerality there? Indeed it is! Some green papaya and makrut lime? That too. Citrus and orchard fruit? Uh huh. And, dare I go there, kiwi? Yup!
There’s definitely some RS in there, but acidity is high enough that it holds it well.. Not much of a finish, but none needed.
I really enjoyed this wine; my dinner companion was more meh. — 3 months ago

Absolute banger, lordamercy. Bring this one to the monster truck rally because this thing could go toe to toe with Truckasaurus for king of non-fined show-stoppers — 2 months ago

Nose: Elegant tropical fruit. Like an elegant Condrieu - maybe even a kiss of honey.
Palate : elegantly rich. Bright. Enlivening acidity. Amazing.
