Had to pick it up for its name! Notes of pear and Granny Smith apple, citrus rind on the nose. Fun little buy, went well with our scallops and risotto for dinner tonight.

Not sure i understand the scores but 2014 vintage - almost smells of M-l (diacetyl) apple fruit muted varietal character (full disclosure i purchased this for $5/ ) so not alot invested

Riesling! Pretty, aromatic. Partial barrel fermentation. Touch of sweetness.

Zippy little Riesling with crunchy green apple, petrol, grapefruit, honey and lemon. Great mouth-watering drinkable wine.

Dry but not bone dry. Delicious and totally so. Apple, lemon, petrol and stony. Zippy and a little creamy on the very end.
