"Whoosh. The wet stone and floral perfume really plays second fiddle to the incredible inward concentration of this wine. It's pithy, limey, juicy but coiled up in a scintillating thrust of laser-like intensity that shifts across the palate with great velocity. Epee-thrusts of a fencer, with the cut of finely wrought steel, complete with filigree on the hilt. It's an acid driven wine, no doubt, almost too tight now, but drinkability is there for those seeking that salivating expression. Fantastic wine, and should cellar slowly and beautifully."

Wine Wise 5 Stars!
"The Canberra district remains under-rated for riesling despite the sterling efforts of a few key producers. This wine may set a new standard for the region. It's as pure as the driven snow. The classic regional lemon sherbet aroma wafts from the glass and the palate is long and precise, delivering a marvellous acid-driven finish."

"Kirk's 2015 riesling could be the finest of the 40 vintages made to date. Very young rieslings tend not to reveal all their fruit flavours and take many months, sometimes years, to flourish. However, the 2015 already reveals great purity and intensity. It's clearly of gold-medal standard now even though its best drinking lies in future."
