Elegance and perfume are the highlights on the nose – jasmine, lemongrass, kaffir leaf and galangal meet with the varietal pedigree of freshly cut lime and lemon. Energy and vitality is at the forefront on the palate, native finger limes is the thread with subtleties of lemon sherbet surrounding. A delicate mouthfeel through the core is gently balanced with a fine and mineral acid line.

92 pts - JamesSuckling.com: “A wealth of apples, pears and citrus fruit here with a fresh-herb edge that stamps the region in play. The palate has very tightly aligned, dry lemon and lime flavors, all so neatly locked in. No wonder this wine has a cult following!”
91 pts - Wine Enthusiast: "Leeuwin’s latest Riesling release is a bright and ultraracy bottling. It opens with a lemony zing, accompanied by waxy lime leaf, fresh ginger and a touch of salty reduction. The palate is bone dry and chalky textured, with rapier acidity. This might be a tad on the lean and mean side for some American palates but those acidity-loving Riesling lovers will dig it. Plus, it should cellar rather nicely."
90 pts - Halliday Wine Companion: “This is emphatically not broken and equally emphatically does not need to be fixed. It's a much-appreciated wine by Leeuwin Estate and its legion of supporters/addicts alike.”
