Originally planted in 1973, Bream Creek is one of the oldest commercial vineyards in Tasmania with the fruit for this Riesling coming from vines over 40 years old.

Brilliant water like colour with a very distinctive greenish tinge around the edges. Lemon and crunchy green apple top notes are followed by fresh limes and flinty mineral characters. The palate features concentrated lime, green apple and citrus flavours finishing with mineral infusions and crunchy crisp acidity. Long aftertaste of fresh limes, citrus and mineral. An excellent cellaring proposition.
Cellar 6-8 years.

Other Reviews….
Exactly in the Bream Creek Riesling family; rich and fleshy, but balanced and fine, and with many years in front of it. Top-gold Tas Wine Show '14.
