Tasting notes
Bright straw. Assertive aromas of lemongrass, green apple and chalky minerals, with a touch of jasmine emerging as the wine opens in the glass. Stony and precise on the palate, offering incisive flavors of candied lime, pear skin and quinine underscored by a gingery nuance. Zesty acidity gives lift and bite to a very long, nervy finish, with the mineral and floral notes echoing. My experiences with this bottling suggest that it will be a long-term keeper.

The Riesling Polish Hill presents a very attractive nose filled with citrus and floral aromas set off by notes of herbs, fennel, coriander seed and a touch of wet pebbles. Light-bodied and dry, the palate reveals intense flavors enlivened by seamless acidity and a long finish with a mineral note.
Actually a little softer than the Springvale at the moment. I’m sure this powdery wine will get there but it’s all over the place at the moment. (JR)
A super-elegant, beautifully balanced and poised riesling that becomes steadily more impressive with each sip, the flavours of lime and lemon wreathed by slatey acidity. It has years of improvement in front of it, but one can hardly be blamed for enjoying it now. July 2015, www.winecompanion.com.au, Drink now to 2034
