"The 2010 Pure Riesling has pronounced lime, peach blossom and lemon peel aromas over notes of fresh herbs and fennel seed plus a whiff of chalk dust. Light bodied and fully sweet in the mouth, it has crisp acid and lower alcohol, finishing long and steely" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Oct 2011
"Quite sweet Riesling with some honeyed botrytis influence. Surprisingly light-bodied with fairly soft acidity. Almost cloying but with good purity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Oct 2011

"Pure, deep, sherbety and overt. The middle is rich, the finish long and juicy. That sweetness and acidity lingers through the finish. Long and juicy finish. A fraction fat and sweet? Still luscious wine indeed. Nice" Andrew Graham, The Australian Wine Review, Sep 2011
"Complex, spicy and mineral with high acidity under the pear, melon and citrus fruit. Lovely concentration and great tension between the acid and sugar" Jamie Goode, The Wine Anorak

Light golden in colour in the glass with an abundance of lemon and lime peel with hints of grapefruit. Honey, lime zest, melon and with a fresh lingering acidity.
