Roll over: Complex, floral & citrus aromas with great freshness, spice & underlying minerality.
Attractive crushed stones, grapefruit and lemon peel with some light, lees-derived, pastry-like notes, too. The palate has impressively fresh and lively flavors with bright peaches and lemons holding long and smooth. Layered yet piercing textural style here. Drink now. – James Suckling

"Pale straw with green hues. Intense aromas of fine dried herbs, white flowers, lemons, lime and a hint of pineapple. A long, rich palate reminiscent of grapefruit, lime and fresh rosemary. The wine finishes with soft natural acidity that balances the flavour and minerality that is delicious now or will reward medium to long-term cellaring." - Pewsey Vale Vineyard

The 2021er Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese is a sweet wine made from botrytized fruit. It offers a superb even if still slightly reduced nose
made of bergamot-infused herbs, pineapple, ginger, starfruit, white peach, pear, and a hint of apricot blossom. The wine proves beautifully filigreed
yet packed with fruity-driven flavors on the palate. It leaves a pure and ethereal feel in the absolutely stunning finish. This great Auslese has even
some upside potential as it integrates its acidity backbone in the long finish. 2031-2061 95+/100 - Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines

A kick of acidity then provides the right freshness and elegance to the aftertaste. This Kabinett is a huge success! 2029-2041 94/100 - Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines
Roll over: Dry River Riesling, dry style, is about chasing purity, transparency and a tension between acidity, sugar and texture.
The aromatics are plenty and varied. Citrus flowers, lime and lemon zest, with riper honeysuckle, pear and nectarine. There are also unexpected, more herbal notes like fennel and crushed basil.
The extra bit of ripeness is helping with the approachability of our Riesling. This brings a more seamless cooperation between the acidity and tannins and, ultimately, a smoother “flow” of the wine from start to finish. The wine is very coherent and creative, where the triangle of acidity, sugar and extract is dynamic and active. This gives a playful wine that is fun and interesting to drink. - Dry River
