"Translucent, stony notes of lime, pear and apple lifted by scents of white and yellow flowers; long and luscious, taut and shapely." - Jeremy Oliver

 

"It’s a bite into sweet lime, a squeeze of Meyer lemon, a dash of old fashioned bitters, a splash of tonic water – bouquet and palate doing a double act. There’s a softness to this release, a tug of chalkiness too. A wine of intense tart pleasure but also complexity in tow. It’s a good release." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"This is an outstanding Springvale Riesling. Intense citrus aromatics that linger; the palate is taut, even coiled, and powered by intense lemon and lime pith and enticing florals that persist; while the finish is long, zesty, and bone dry. For all its mouth-puckering intensity, there is balance, a touch of restraint, satisfying finesse and an immediacy that appeals.

The Springvale vineyard is unique on two fronts: First, its odd shape accurately reflects the red loam-over-limestone profile below. Under this limestone is slate, its existence discovered by us only after the vine roots had reached that far. Second, the mix of riesling clones is rare. The result is a deliciously limey riesling with backbone." - Jeffrey Grosset
