Color: A brilliant exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges on release.
Nose: Aromas of intense floral and citrus notes with some hints of passionfruit enhanced by an underlying spicy lift can be found on the nose.
Palate: A seamless palate, initial flavours of grapefruit and pear, leading to a sherbet mid-palate of passion fruit and spice, finishes with a long, classic mouth-watering citrus acidity. The fine structure is testament to the care taken during the production.Crushed rock with briny citrus fruits on the nose, the palate is the most closed of the 2022 riesling releases. It is textural, with an almost savoury aspect that focuses on lime without quite as much floral influence. The mid palate shows some kaffir lime and coriander and a continuation of the briny influence before the long, textural finish. The wine is sure to develop plenty of secondary interest over time.
94 pts - Andrew Graham (Oz Wine Review)Every year the question is more about which Harewood sub-regional release is best, and this year it’s a close thing between this Denmark release and the Porongurup below. I think I prefer the Porongurup marginally, but not much in it. This is an excellent, expressive, yet tight Riesling. There is this juiciness, a real juicy citrus intensity, but it’s more grapefruit than, say, the Limefinger below. A little celery and white flowers too. Celery and white flower aromatics, but also flavour and ripe, rather than hard acidity. Just so much punchiness, and yet you step back and admire it as a crisp, lithe white wine. Best drinking: good now.
