The fruit for this Riesling was grown on a vineyard in the Orange region, which is situated 1000m above sea level. In the glass: Pale lemon straw.On the nose: Pure lime lift with a touch of honeysuckle. On the palate: Intense and pure with a zesty core of lemon and lime, a quinine-like mouth-feel and long crisp acidity on to the almost chalky finish. Retrained yet powerful.

One of the best varieties in Orange. Cool climate, high elevation vineyards, a mix of barrel & tank fermentation, yeast lees aged 6 months. Modern Australian chardonnay. Citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of tropical richness. Fresh and lively with fruit purity. Some bread dough and savoury oak complexity in the background. Good flavour intensity with excellent persistence. Nice balance, not overtly oaky but enough to add complexity.

The wine is pale gold in colour with youthful, green hues. The bouquet is elegant and intense with smoky citrus lime and floral varietal characters.The palate shows youthful intense varietal floral Riesling fruit characters filling the length of the palate balanced with a long crisp clean acid finish. There is also a hint of smokiness and lime characteristics, a full middle palate and a touch of alcohol sweetness on the finish. While extremely enjoyable now, the history of this wine shows it will gain further complexity and depth of flavour over the next 4 - 10 years. The wine is crisp and sophisticated and may be served alone or with fine cuisine such as white meat fish yabbies or seafood.

Pale straw in colour with youthful green tints, the bouquet explodes with grassy and elegant distinctive Sauvignon Blanc and passionfruit characteristics mixed with the riper fruit salad characters stimulated by the warmer growing conditions. The intense herbaceous fruit dominates on the palate. The flavour fills the mouth and has a long lingering finish with clean crisp acidity, typical of an elegant cold climate white wine. Crisp and sophisticated this full bodied wine would be an ideal aperitif or serve with its perfect food partner steamed asparagus or with fine cuisine such as freshly chucked oysters.
