2025 ~ Too new for reviews…

But here’s what we think of it so far: delicious, lime-y, white florals; the essence of spring!

2024

Silver Medal on debut! – Canberra International Riesling Challenge 2024

94pts “Deeper aromas set the tone here. Lime flesh and zest underly an engaging, persistent fragrance, with delicate musk notes offering sophistication and depth to the palate as well. A very attractive wine crafted with sensitive touch. Drink now-2032.” – The Vintage Journal

Special Value 92pts “Freshly squeezed lime, lemon and grapefruit with hints of green apple sorbet, orange blossom, crushed quartz, lime zest and lemongrass. Dry and savoury on the palate with a nice textural shift and a precise finish that’s both stony and limey at once. I really like the palate shape here, all sleek, composed and tautly stretched” – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

The Real Review – TOP VALUE WINES OF 2025!92pts “Very pale lemon lime hue. White flower, talcum and grapefruit aromas. Pure and bright on the palate, white nectarine, chalk and lemon at the core. Acidity adds a lift and tension but it doesnt ever overreach, and the supple and delicate glide carries it long. Really delicious stuff at a bargain price ” – The Real Review, Stuart Knox

2023

92pts Pale lemon colour. Fragrant aromas of gardenia, lime zest and lemon curd lift from the glass. Bright green apple, musky florals and chalk characters fill the palate as it carries with lift of light and bright acidity… a lot going on throughout and it manages to show a seamless flow even at such a young age. – Stuart Knox, Real Review

2022

SILVER – 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards

SILVER – Melbourne International Wine Competition

93pts “Sourced from an old-vine (35+ years) riesling vineyard in Springton in the Eden Valley. Pale straw in the glass with characters of freshly squeezed lime juice with hints of Christmas lily, crushed stone, lemon zest and lighter notes of freshly cut fennel and marzipan. Voluminous yet precise with a clean, swift cadence over the palate and a wonderful air of purity and zest. Jeez, it’s lovely drinking.” – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

90pts “Lime flesh and apple skin with slap in the face freshness of sea spray, a suggestion of rosewater, Nice biscuit, coriander and green leaves. Cuddly and generous fleshy feels tempered with a little grainy phenolics and puckering green apple acidity giving a fine drive. No need to overthink it. Ready to cut through tempura battered fish and chips or trays full of pot stickers.” – Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com

2021

95pts + GOLD + #1 Vintage 2021 Riesling– Decanter Magazine Riesling Panel Tasting, June 2021

95pts“Lovely bright perfume, freshly squeezed limes, a dash of rose, a salty, maritime lift. A sumptuous feel, textured & round. A touch of bergamot & a soft feathery touch. Forward, but will age nicely.” – Justin Knock, Decanter

95pts“Expressive nose, delicacy on the palate with underlying power, an almost exotically floral finish. Soft with a steely core.” – Julia Sewell, Decanter

95pts“Hints of tropics, touch of banana, fresh acidity, some citrus peel, zing & zang, gentle jasmine & some herbaceous characters.” – Roger Jones, Decanter
