RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

...dry, fairly full-bodied Riesling...smoky notes of grilled toast, honey and citrus that linger on the lip-smacking finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Vibrant and precise on the intensely perfumed nose, displaying an array of citrus fruit and floral scents underscored by a powerful mineral nuance. Shows excellent focus and lift on the palate, offering bitter lemon pith and pear skin flavors... Tarragon and beeswax qualities emerge on the lingering minerally finish.

91The Wine Advocate

...beautifully expressive note of honeyed apricots, spiced apples and warm pears with touches of jasmine and lime blossoms. Dry, light to medium-bodied and with deliciously approachable freshness, it finishes long with commendable poise.

REGION

Australia, Victoria

Victoria is one of Australia’s smallest and coolest wine regions, yet one of the nation’s most dynamic and quality-oriented. Unlike many of Australia’s wine regions, which include many large, industrial producers, most Victoria producers are small, independently owned and crush fewer than 25 tons of grapes per year. With more than 600 wineries, Victoria has more producers than any other state, though it ranks third in production. Winemaking started in Victoria in the 1850s when Swiss immigrant Hubert de Castella recognized the area’s winemaking potential. There are many climates and topographies in Victoria, from dry, irrigated inland terroirs to cooler, higher regions. Top sub-appellations include Heathcote, Rutherglen and the Yarra Valley. Shiraz and Chardonnay are the principal grapes grown, though Viognier, Pinot Noir and Tannant are also grown. Of special note is the region’s history with sweet dessert wines made of Muscat. Some are called “Tokay” and are made from the Muscadelle grape. Red dessert, Madeira-style wines are also produced.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
