Enjoyed this wine with family around the pool. Nice Riesling which would have been even better if it had been more flinty

2022 vintage

I was initially not impressed until I had my first bite of sushi. The flavour improved immensely. It tastes quite a bit like pomelo. Slightly bitter. The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like grapefruit. The body is light. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Enjoyed this wine over 4 nights. It was a very nice riesling, but I would have preferred it to be drier & more minerally.

The wine has an intriguing zesty ginger and cinnamon like note on the nose and is rather different to expectations. The fruit is very fulsome with apple, pear and some background lime. While delicious drinking in its youth, this wine will fill out with another five to seven years in the cellar to be something special. The acid backbone will support its journey more than adequately. Made for seafood.

Passed me by. Drank it over a few days. Tired it cooler and warmer but to my palate this bottle was feeling a few years past it's prime. Still very nice but none of that energy and pizzazz a good Riesling has, whether it's old or young. Might try the next bottle in about 5 years.

2009 vintage

Drank in Hong Kong Nose of lime and other yellow fruits. Medium body and length.

2009 vintage

Clear, lemon. Medium intensity, lime blossom. Medium acid, medium bodied, medium alcohol. Some acid has dropped away, rounded, like watered down lemon juice. Medium length. Quite enjoyable drinking but left feeling just a little underwhelmed.

2009 vintage

n - petrol & honey bone dry, limes simple, some toastiness not long next day much more limey and intense. Also tasted younger. Might actually have lots of life in this and just be a bit too young.

2008 vintage

Wine-Ark Cellar Club Tasting 6 - July 2010, Mitchell, Moss Wood and Yarra Yerring (Roof Terrace Australian Museum) : Nose: Passion fruit, guava, lime over wet stone Mouth: acrid and a little dull, lacking fruit. flat

2009 vintage

Very pale Citrus zest, mineral, chalky, very water vale in style Med wt, good crisp finish, lime zest flavours, not quite the piercing intensity of others but not bad

2009 vintage

Bright, clear in glass. Slate and lime on the nose, beautifully concentrated. On palate, despite being too cold, presented intense fruit, steel and a hint of petrol
