Color: A brilliant, exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges.
Nose: The wine exhibits pungent spicy blossom and hints of stone fruits enhanced by an underlying “lemon barley” vibrancy.
Palate: A seamless palate, with initial flavours of passionfruit and Meyer lemon barley leading to a spicy mid-palate with hints of pear finishing with textural pithy acidity. The 2022 Tunney Riesling is textural, mouth-filling and insistent in the mouth. It is very good. It transverses savory, mineral, slatey and lean through to pillowy, enveloping and pleasurable. This is a wine that captures some of the deliciousness of the Great Southern Riesling from the same release, and combines it with back-palate power. This is an excellent wine.
95 pts - Kim Brebach (BWU20)James Kellie makes about 5 single vineyard Rieslings, and they’re all good. I like the Tunney best since it is richer than the others, yet retains the same finesse. The vineyard is near Frankland River. The wine offers spring flowers, Meyer lemons, limes and ripe apples, and glides across the tongue with great line and length.
