The Watervale Riesling shows its pretty white blossoms on first opening and then reveals its orchard of tree hanging fruit. Strong Gardenia scent is met with Ambrosia flesh, white pears and yellow grapefruit skin and oil. Acidity is key here with a natural flow and agility that drives the wine without any acute edges. Some middle palate green plum flavour is activated and turns to an oatmeal creaminess, this is pretty darn nice drinking on its own but would serve a triple cream brie very well too. Pop it away in your cellar for a decade and it will also reward.
