The 2012 Norman Hardie Riesling, a 70/30% fruit blend from Twenty Mile Bench and PEC, has intense, seductive aromas of petrol, lemon, pineapple and pear. It is a medium bodied, dry, fruity wine; BALANCED with crisp/refreshing acidity and a long, oily finish. It is a food friendly wine, but sip on its own; drink now – 2025+ (screw cap enclosure). My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 91 pts – recommended for quality and value. Tasted at 'County in the City' event http://grapeselections.com/county-in-the-city-2014/ in Apr/14.

Blend of 70% Twenty Mile Bench (Niagara) fruit and 30% County fruit. Highly aromatic with petrol, stone fruit, mineral and beeswax aromas. Light-bodied with clean minerals, citrus and peach on the palate. Medium-dry in the sweetness, but balanced acidity keeps everything in check. Long, clean finish. Very nice! Tasted Apr/2014. Score: 90+ pts

This is an intensely aromatic, flavourful tight and light riesling made very much in a Mosel style. Lots of apple,...
