Absolutely singing! Great mineral & petrol. Medium body, stone and citrus fruit, acidity holding it all together.

Wonderful, rich Riesling but snappy natural acidity at the same time. Honey. Popular with fondue on Halloween.

Oh, Hirschy Hirsch Hirsch. This one seems to be straddling that delicious line between young and old. Starting to show signs of being that mature type white wine, but still showing that gorgeous crispness and acidity that you've come to love in good dry Riesling. Not always a fan of fence sitters, but it's hard to argue with awesomeness.

Petrol and white flowers, apricots...tight and a little closed down, but still really nice.

That’s what I expect from a good Niederösterreich Riesling. Minerals, acidity, petrol aspects. Like it. Bit more age probably wouldn’t hurt though. Very bright and fresh acidity under it. No particular bouquet though.

Oh man oh man. Super petrol apples and the tropics with that touch of raw honey.

Nose is over-ripe passion fruit, hint of mineral... Palette is apricot, apple with good acid...
