About

Ratings:

96

A whisp of smoke on opening but clearing quickly to reveal a wine that’s so light and pure, yet has remarkable depth and concentration. Lime, almost a lemon curd flavour and perhaps a suggestion of apple–the flavour is there–almost feels soft when you first taste it, then turns crunchy, spicy and runs very very long. Yes, we have plenty of stony mineral stuff too. Fabulous. A real ‘wow’ wine.

94 James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion

Medium to full yellow-green; the aromatics of the bouquet bring together every expression imaginable of lime and lemon, the palate following suit, minerally/chalky acidity providing both drive and structure.

91 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

With intense tropical notes of green guava, pineapple and mango and underlying jasmine and acacia honey hints, the 2012 Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling is dry and light to medium-bodied in the mouth. It has refreshing acid to cut through the great intensity of forward, exotic fruit flavors and a long finish. Drink it now to 2020+.
