NZ Herald, 20th September 2011 - New World Wine Awards 2011

Judges' Comments -Perfumed citrus and jasmine flower aromas, the palate is rich and textural.  Described by one judge as being "like a kiss on the cheek from the world's most beautiful women".  Easy to see why this was judged the Champion White Wine of the Show.

Wine NZ Magazine, Autumn 2008

A growing history of success with this label through several vintages has seen this wine become a leading light in Riesling, the addition of a percentage of Nelson fruit is seen by winemaker Digger Hennessey as a clue to the wine¹s lovely structure and drink ability. Almost dry and very well fruited.

Wine NZ Magazine, Spring 2006

A very attractive nose: fresh blossom, mineral, jasmine, almost a touch of honeysuckle. The palate is delicate and restrained; subtle fresh fruit flavours combine with mouth-watering acidity, low alcohol and the merest hint of residual sweetness to give a really appealing wine.

Otago Daily Times 27 September 2006
A lovely fresh, lively riesling. Floral, fragrant with hints of lime and lemon. Off-dry but with a zesty, crisp finish.
