Light bodied, almost sparkling texture. Scents of green apple and honey. Acidy and tart on the palate with hints of dill pickles. Finishes with oily, buttery, petrol taste, similar to movie popcorn. Fine accompaniment to a hot summer picnic lunch and best enjoyed after a days spell in the refrigerator.
Straw in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose.
A smooth Riesling with kiss of sweetness.
Positives: This wine features green apples, pineapples, pink grapefruit, dill, peach, pears & light petrol on the nose. Medium minus body with good acidity and a fairly long length.

This is a great wine for those who like sweeter rieslings. It has strong notes of Green Apple as well as honey. Good value for money
Pale green, lime zest, lively, grapefruit marmalade, high acidity, with well integrated and balanced rs, off dry, white grapefruit tartness, soft white floral notes on nose. Tasted at WWAC Sept 2013.
Screw cap. This white wine has muted aromas of pink grapefruit, peach, and Flintstones vitamins. Medium in sweetness with white peach, floral, petrol, and wet rocks on the palate. Hints of honey linger on the medium-long finish. Good acidity and medium bodied. Tasted Jan/2014.
Green apples. It's really that simple with this one. If you like tart green apples, you'll enjoy this wine. Best served chilled, this is a back-porch or patio type of wine that pairs well with cheese and of course, slightly salty hors d'oeuvres.
This Riesling has a lingering after taste. Its high acidity and tartness make it more difficult to drink on its own over others. Not bad for the price.
