Color: A brilliant fresh green straw colour on release.
Nose: Aromas complex, perfumed notes of citrus and fresh nectarines balanced by toasty French oak and a savoury cashew character from barrel fermentation.
Palate:The palate is full-bodied and complex. Stone fruits and honeydew melon flavours lead to a creamier rounded mid-palate of peach, vanilla and roasted nuts, with a lingering crisp finish of grapefruit and spicy French oak.The surprise here is how forward and rich this Riesling is – Most Rieslings from Porangurup are steely creatures that take time to show their charms.
93 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)Anyone not familiar with the Rieslings from the Great Southern region, including those from Porongurup need to lift their game. These are seriously good wines, great for enjoying young but also they are able to age brilliantly. Get on board. The colour here is a shimmering pale lemon. There are notes of freshly sliced citrus, oyster shells and florals with hints of honeysuckle and beeswax and a touch of pink grapefruit. There is lemony acidity, good focus, direction and persistence. Finely balanced, it should provide pleasure for ten to fifteen years. This is a lovely Riesling.
