Bright very pale straw colour with water like hue. Delicate lime, tropical fruit top note followed by orange blossom, creating a perfumed lift. The palate displays flavours of lime and tropical fruit with light residual sugar evident, however not to the same level as the 2004 wine. Clean acid finish. Long aftertaste of lime and tropical fruit.

First Tasted, September 2005:
This is a classic German inspired Spatlese Riesling – but not one that is filled with lolly sweetness, rather one that beautifully expresses late picked, ripe fruit flavours. Brilliant waterlike colour. The nose is fresh and aromatic with lifted nose of ripe mandarin, spice and tropical fruit. Excellent, easy drinking ripe fruit flavours. Again an appealing juxtaposition of ripe mandarin and tropical fruit over a lime background. Clean acid finish. Long aftertaste of ripe mandarin and tropical fruit.
