Alexana
Revana Vineyard Estate Riesling
Kumquat, bruised apples, banana runts, orange zest. Reminiscent of a old school white rioja with oxidative almondy notes.

Jun 5th, 2022To celebrate International Riesling Day, I opened a tasty and interesting one from Oregon.
Dry on the palate with lemons, diesel, minerals, earth, red and yellow apples, spices, pears, light pineapples and guava.
Medium plus in body and elegant, with pretty legs.
Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Tangy finish with limes. Crisp and refreshing.
This 4 year old, Single Vineyard Riesling, is drinking very nicely now. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Tasty and easy drinking, but also intriguing.
I had it by the pool.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$32.

Pear, lemon candy, hay, apple, limestone and hints of dried apricot. Good acidity and balance.

Oct 17th, 20232011 - Tasted first on prem at Alexana. The best Riesling I’ve ever had. Hands down. One of the best white wines I’ve ever had. Hands down. Syrupy undertone (almost like a port), lemon, stone, and green jolly rancher (sounds weird but so good)

Sep 6th, 2020BYOB wine night with friends & various industry acquaintances celebrating the recent induction of a couple of them into the ranks of CMS Certified.

So good, especially loved the nose. Exactly like smelling a freshly-opened inflatable pool float. Petrol City.
