Pale straw with green hues. Lifted citrus blossom, fresh lime and granny smith apples fill the nostrils, with hints of talc and honey. Intense lime and apple fruits flow onto a crisp and lively palate with the acidity balancing out the fruit sweetness and the long zesty finish.
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion, on the 2010 vintage: "A very attractive Mosel style, the expected sweetness perfectly balanced by crisp, refreshing acidity, with flavours of lime, lemon and green apple; has a very long finish. Expertly made." 94 points
