A wine applauded by the critics for presenting a good little Riesling at an outstanding price. The price is certainly right, only $14 a bottle, however the wine lacks the backbone and complexity found in the similar priced Leo Buring Eden Valley Riesling.
Lemon, passionfruit and a little cut grass on the nose, the palate presented refreshing citrus flavours, specifically grapefruit. The wine had good length and was not overly dry. There are extensive tasting notes available on the Madfish website.
In essence this is an uncomplicated crowd pleaser, drink it young and enjoy. The flavours reminded me at times of a Sauvignon Blanc, fine for those who enjoy a little cats pee in their diet, however the finish of this Riesling is not quite to my taste.
Score: 6/10
Would I buy this wine again?
I purchased 6 of these based on the praise received by many reviewers, lesson learned, taste first and trust your own palate.
