"Pale gold. Wet stone, lime, green apple and mint on the nose, with a smoky note of kerosene coming up with air. Dry, linear and tangy, offering vivid citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a subtle herbal quality. Finishes with refreshing mineral bite and very good, spicy persistence." -90 points- Josh Raynolds- International Wine Cellar

"Some colour development; classic Watervale style, with toast, citrus and spice; has developed quickly. Screwcap." -90 points- James Halliday- Australian Wine Companion

Looking for a great cheese pairing for this wine?
This complex dry riesling is a nice fit for many cheeses. Since it is dry and refreshing, a nice pairing would be the Bucheron. This similarly lively goat cheese can also be covered with your favorite preserve or jam.
