Winemaker’s tasting notes: "Delicate green tints; lifted bouquet with hints of apple blossom and lemon flower; a classic Eden Valley Riesling with tight structure, delicate fruit at this early stage of its life, with promise of deeper honeyed citrus notes to come with development in the bottle. It is a zesty, clean wine showing wonderful crisp, mineral acidity". 12% alc.
