Stephen Brook | Delicate green-apple nose, light but charming. Fresh but textured, richer than most Tasmanian Rieslings, with more heft and drive. Good acidity and some spice and complexity, too, and some piquancy on the finish, which is bracing and long. Very appealing fruit, good balance, and plenty of energy. Convincingly dry. | 17
Andrew Jefford | Full yellow-gold against its peers. Clean (as ever); more pear and quince than the steelier malic fruits in terms of aroma. The usual restrained aromatic sketch. On the palate, this is sound, clean, fresh, and deft, with gentle pear fruit and a little structuring vinosity. But it doesn’t have huge levels of detail or finesse. This is a sound mealtime Riesling, but you won’t be discussing it for most of the meal. | 12
Stephan Reinhardt | White-gold color. Ripe apple scents, golden Riesling grapes, some earthy aromas, very clear on the nose. Quite powerful but also quite pure and firm/straightforward on the palate, more bones than meat, though there is no lack of fruit. Salty finish, good length. The acidity, however, could be integrated better. Good to match with food. | 14
