Just a stunner. Nose is a knockout while still remaining elegant. White flowers, salted water, kaffir lime, white peach, underipe kiwi, maybe even some yellow plum. Great body and pithy pomelo on the palate, along with some kind of herbal simple syrup I’ve tasted before. Not getting as much overt flintiness as previous vintages. Finish brings more creamy orange (creamsicle???) and maybe orange green star notes. Fantastic — 7 years ago

Relatively refreshing medium bodied drink with smell and taste of kiwi, apricot, peach, faint green apple and lime. Reminds me of white citrusy fruits. Good drink on hot day — 7 years ago

Wow. I’ve had a lot of kiwi SBs in my day but this wine is completely different. Super elegant on the nose, elderflower and hay on the nose with subtle pear skin and muted grapefruit. Med + / med acid toned down and balanced. Ripe citrus turned down to a 6 and a touch of lees to provide structure. Finish is vibrant, clean and strong on the fruit — 8 years ago

I meet with a lot of wineries that talk about being bio-dynamic. However, none of them are more passionate about this practice than Rippon. They love talking about it with great passion and truly walk the talk. In the photos are a huge pile of cow dung, stems, dropped fruits etc.. It all goes back into the vineyard to nourish the vines. The fruit to make "The Mature" comes from the Emma's and Tinker's vineyard. On the nose, light red fruits, beautiful fresh red florals and light spice. The palate is medium bodied with lean fruits of; dark cherries, plum, strawberries, raspberries, black berries, warm spices, bright red roses, gritty minerals, fine chalkiness, beautiful acidity and a well polished finish.

Yellow plums and a range of stone fruit, especially the fragrant skins, and excellent wet stone minerals, like a very clear cool country pool in the morning. Very round mouthfeel, round acids like green grapes, gooseberry, rounded out with kiwi. It’s super green and yellow in tasting color spectrum, somewhat violet purple in a synesthesia way. It’s really ripe and really tight, like a pro athlete just hitting her peak. See @Lyle Fass notes — 6 years ago

Trite to say, perhaps, but having just ate kiwi, this wine is surprisingly reminiscent. Wonderful stones, apples, grass, and toffee on the nose. I taste something astringent, almost kiwi-like, and slightly like petrol. Don't know what this was like in its youth but I like it now. There is a touch more butter than I'd like it the freshness of the nose carries through with nice acid and that astringency. Drink up! — 9 years ago
