Pale lemon yellow in colour. Aromas of talc and orange/mandarin skin. Palate of medium plus intensity showing mandarin flesh and lime. A cool to cold climate terroir at Henty on Victoria’s south west coast facing the southern Ocean and ensuring a long ripening period. At 11 years still very lively - the mouth puckering acid of its youth has diminished but enough there to ensure a few more years in the cellar. An exceptional Riesling and one of Australia’s best IMO. — 7 months ago

Citrus upfront and then citrus and lemons after a few seconds of quick finish but a lingering lemon taste OK very little oak — 6 years ago

See previous Delectable note in July 2023. An excellent Riesling particularly for a “Young Vines Riesling “. Notes of Mandarin with traces of paraffin (TDN) being present. A fleshy luscious palate which is simply delicious - low acid. A touch of fruitiness but finishes dry. From Henty, a little known wine district on the south west coast of Victoria and exposed to the cold southern ocean. A great area for quality Riesling as Crawford River shows. Sadly my last bottle of the Young Vines 2016. — 8 months ago

Enjoyed with Pat’s grilled steak, but preferred the 2021 release ($38). Noted by Coco as “one of the most tannic wine grapes in cultivation”. — a year ago

One of the top for this varietal in Australia
Still has potential to develop — 6 years ago
