Tasting Notes and Australia and Geelong and Variety and White and riesling
I’ve been sitting on this sample for a while - time to write a review…
Lots of pretty florals, a certain delicacy, with lemon, sherbet, and dryness. The palate is tight and quite austere, with lemon and slate, sour fruits, finishing with an acid twang and dryness. This said, it does show a lovely purity of fruit and some good intensity, but it certainly is a style that needs some food. Drink now and over the next few years.

Their Pinot is also quite good. Them folks down Pigdon Road way are producing some pretty solid juice.
