"Murrumbateman’s cool, continental climate and decomposed granite soils are perfectly suited to Riesling. 2022 was another classic Riesling year with plenty of rain when we needed it and a long, cool ripening season. Drink now for its fine floral, citrus-edged fruit or cellar for up to 15 years and watch it develop lime and toast characters with age."
"Striking aromas of spring blossom, crisp pears and mandarin orange aromas make this stand out in the Australian riesling crowd. Sleek, but with a lovely creamy texture on the mid-palate and serious mineral freshness at the long, wet stone finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The clarity of the flavour here is quite something. Apple, fresh and intense, red and green, meets slate and chalk, a touch of steel too. It has both drive and flavour but it also has texture; not overt but enough to slow the wine down on its way through your mouth, like stones and branches in a stream, helping everything to settle and sink in. The tinge of green to the hue here is another quality marker. I especially like that this wine has all the persistent you could wish for, but also has some body, some flesh."
