High on acids and spices. Less tropical fruits. Dry style. Unexpected taste, needs adjudtment of the tastebuds.

Holding on very well at 27 years of age. A surprising lack of kerosene one normally gets with old Rieslings. Good balance without any great depth of fruit flavour.

Fading, yet still offering glimpses. Unctuous, developed.

Excellent 10 year old Riesling from Eden Valley. Lemon color with floral notes and Kerosene. Label says it could be cellared for 20 years and with the residual acid and good fruit I have no reason to doubt it. Loved It.

Bright and fresh with long textural palate. Lime and floral aroma, pithy lime juice giving way to a bright and tight citrus core.

New vintage. An impressive wine,
mineral depth, bone-dry, so well composed.
