Reviews of the 2012 vintage

96 points James Halliday 2014 Australian Wine Companion … ” “This is classic Eden Valley at its best. the fragrant. flowery citrus blossom aromas lead into a laser cut palate. at once juicy yet minerally. the flavours hitting the tip of the tongue as the wine enters the mouth. and then refusing to go away. ”

94 points Gary Walsh. The Wine Front .. “Just when you thought it was safe to stop buying 2012 South Australian Riesling Baby oil ripe. apple blossom. lime and into a bursting juicy palate “ so much flavour of a tangy and sherbetty persuasion “ pulled together with fine acidity. requisite slatey bits and a long zesty finish. So good to drink now it ™s hard to imagine a good reason to hang on to it? One of those wines where it ™s hard to draw the line between tasting and drinking. ”
