This straightforward bench Riesling dishes out lime, crushed rock, bergamot, mineral, grapefruit and a slight hint of C02, at this early stage. The palate is tangy with just the right amount of residual sugar, taking the edge off. Crack it open tonight with sushi or a spiced ceviche.
Forward cherry and wild strawberry with earthy background and definite minerality on the nose before a well-balanced, medium-bodied palate with well-integrated tannins, savoury notes and good length. Lingering minerality reflects the rock and alluvial fan site, while extra hang time contributes to the richness and depth. Drinking well now but also worth waiting a few years.
This Pinot packs quite a punch as there is lots of extract as well as elevated, dry tannins. Cherry, raspberry, plum, spice, dried earth and flowers are all in play. Excellent length. This wine needs food, so duck breast will do the trick, quite nicely.
Opens with distinctly smoky, tarry aromas over varietal ripe raspberry and peppery spice. Ripe raspberry and blackberry flavours come with unusual dry herbal notes, dark chocolate and lightly firm tannic grip.
Pale yellow. Sharp, citrusy nose with a hint of flint. Vivid acidity throughout, fatty middle palate, ripe fruity taste. Energetic finish. Ready to drink now or over the next couple of years with seafood.
A very elegant Champagne with a creamy mouthfeel, beautifully balanced with minerally, toasty, citrus and peach flavours and a long, lingering citrus finish.
