A beautifully pure and intensely flavoured riesling that shows what you can do with this variety in Margaret River in a very good year. It was fast and furious but the quality, if not the quantity, was outstanding. Talcy lemon zest with a tight core. A degree of tension through the palate but there are appealing fruit characters. Quite a textured riesling but still with a fine acidity to provide a precise long finish.
