2019 - Limited New Museum Release
Huon Hooke's list of "New and Noteworthy" releases that offer outstanding value
30 Best Australian Wines Under $30 - Boss Hunting
92/100 "Refreshing and delicate nose: delivering damp stones, citrus pith (both mandarin and lime), apple flesh with plenty of light floral blossom and a hint of sweeter honeysuckle. Dry, and showing fine purity as the fruit tails into a textural, structural exploration. Acidity is bright and bracing, leaving a balanced juxtaposition of refreshment and thirst." - Regan Drew, Vino Notebook
90pts "Bright, floral, fresh, slightly soapy, some apple concentrate and lime essence stuff going on, feels a bit concocted and non-grape fruity but also settles into being a decent drink, adult cordial style. Mouth-watering acidity a lovely feature and finishes the wine really well. Decent drinking." - The Wine Front
Top Picks “Attractive aromas of beeswax, toast, lime zest and ginger. Perhaps some skin contact at work here with a pithy viscosity and a richness to the palate. The racy acidity and talc notes reign in the fruit to give a long, persistent and drying finish.” - Justin Purser, Young Gun of Wine
2017
Silver Medal + 94pts - 2020 International Wine Challenge (London)
93/100 "The bouquet is of lemon sherbet - like opening a packet of 'Whizz-Fizz', a childhood memory, then a swirl of honeysuckle, white flowers and sweet citrus. Flavours of ripe red apple and nectarine, a thread of sweetness just perceptible but skilfully woven into the fabric of the wine." - Steven Creber, Halliday
93pts "Exquisite riesling. Floral fluid, gently textural, bursting with life, pure. Slatey, gunmetal-like character meets lemon sorbet and an assortment of florals. It's as delicious as it is fine." - Campbell Mattison, The Wine Front
2015
95pts + GOLD (Elite) - 2022 Canberra International Riesling Challenge
Gold Medal - Barossa Valley Wine Show
93/100 "Three Eden Valley vineyards, handpicked, half of the crop spending time on skins. 6g/l residual sugar. Presents as delicate but lengthy with lime rind/juice and slate flavours floating convincingly through the palate. Gently textural. More soft than sweet. Beautiful style of wine." - Campbell Mattison, Halliday
"Nose of lime, honey subtle with hints of Roseanne. fresh gooseberries, fool on the palate and a gorgeous balancing sweetness. Very long finish." - 2021 International Wine Challenge
