James Halliday, Wine Companion 2012, August 2011
4/5
"After the decline of tobacco, the mainly Italian farmers of the King Valley switched to wine grape growing. Italian varieties have thrived, as has riesling. With this one, crisp ruby grapefruit flavour zips onto the front of the palate and green apple peel and nascent lime marmalade and toast underlays combine on the middle palate. Mineral-edged acid refreshes at the finish."
