Excellent grüner veltliner! This vintage was very lime-forward, but I also tasted grapefruit and white pepper. Bought at Lazy Acres. — a year ago
Pale straw to clear in color. On the nose a perfume of honey, apricot, nectarine, a burst of slate and touch of petrol. On the palate is a nice bit of acid balanced with a touch of residual sugar. The wine glides through the middle and finishes with green apples, melon and honeysuckle. Quite a lovely wine that isn't too loud, where the low mid and highs are nuanced for your tasting pleasure. — 4 years ago
Tuesday the 26th of January was Australia Day and a public holiday. What better way to celebrate than Australia’s best fizz Arras Grand Vintage from Tasmania. Quite light lemon in colour. Very citrussy and mineral on the nose. 7 years on Lees showing in the complexity of the palate which still shows tension and refreshment. See previous notes for the 2007 which was slightly better and Champion Wine of the Royal Brisbane Show. — 5 years ago

None of the petrol on the nose. This one is more floral. Great acidity, very refreshing and enjoyable, with hints of apple/ pear. — 3 years ago

Classic oily petrol plastic Riesling, but with a crispness and some minerality — 7 years ago
Medium gold; powerful, open, mineral nose; ripe peach and hints of melon on the full, round palate. Not the best best Tradition, but is ‘09 under-appreciated?

This 2016 Riesling wine is made from late-harvested grapes, so it is sweet. However, it is sweet in a different way than a dessert wine is sweet. There is no layered sugar, no raisiny note. I get the sweetness of the grapes, and the minerals which accompany them. Stone fruit is apparent, as is the smell of a wet driveway, a whiff of ozone and the faint petrol notes that begin to show in Rieslings over time. This may be one of the best examples of the grape that I have had. — 5 years ago
