This is another stunning release from Howard Park, made from grapes grown in Western Australia’s Great Southern sub-regions of Mount Barker and the Porongurups.
"96 Points. Exceedingly pale colour; citrus blossom aromas announce an initially mouth-puckering (in the best possible way) palate, opening quickly to reveal a zesty lime and mineral range of flavours; the acid profile promises a very long life. Screwcap. 12.5% alc. Drink 2029 $25 Date Tasted Nov 09" - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011 Edition.
“This rates among the very best rieslings I've tasted all year. It has freshness, crispness, pristine fruit and the potential to age. Released a few months later than many of its contemporaries, this wine from the Great Southern of Western Australia straddles the territory between delicacy and intensity with brilliant fresh lime juice flavours and zingy acid on the palate...worth snapping up to enjoy with summer seafood dishes." - Winsor Dobbin, www.winsordobbin.com.au, December 2009.
"Pretty smelling wine - apple blossom, green apple, a slight spice and slatiness...and if you concentrate (or use your imagination) you might smell something like aniseed. There's some citrus flavours on a crisp, crunchy and juicy palate that comes over as being gentle rather than austere - although it's in no way a big wine. Slightly grippy textured finish. Good now and over the medium term. Drink 2010 - 2017. 92 Points" - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 10-01-2010.
