"Riesling grown biodynamically at Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard (Polish Hill River sub-region), established in 1996 (30 years old). Hand harvested, free run juice, with no fining. Planted on unyielding hard rock (slate), the site has always demanded hand-working and patience to match. The vines have responded by becoming more resilient and the grapes more expressive, both evident in this release. Wonderfully aromatic and intensely fragrant with lifted lime blossom and the smell of slate. Full-throttle power meets the vineyard’s finesse. Intense lime drives the mid-palate with precision, supported by chalky minerality and bone-dry structure. Persistent length reveals citrus complexity. Bright, captivating in youth, yet balanced with backbone to age gracefully." - Winemaker Notes
"I could be mistaken here, as it may have happened before, but the G-Dog (or one of his helpers) has popped the RRP on the side of the bottle this vintage, most helpfully. ‘Appreciate you’, as they so often say on The Bear. Pink grapefruit, fresh lime, aniseed, thyme and assorted herbs, with something of a violet and lavender perfume. This is very stony and strict, a little grainy grip, light but intense with lime zest and perfume on a tight quinine-laced finish of excellent length. A classic vintage for this wine. Cool but perfectly formed." - 96 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
