Attractive expression of riesling imbued with lemon curd, red apple, talc and lime blossom scents. The palate is quite concentrated, almost rich, but cut with briny, grapefruit-juice acidity alongside showing off lime and more red-apple fruitiness. It's long in flavour, persistent in its minerally profile, appealing and ready to roll. Pretty delicious, actually.

Geoff Weaver is that rarest of creatures, a winemaker of quiet modesty. He has always allowed his wines to speak for him, and they do so with a graceful eloquence. Working with one of the original vineyards on the cool slopes around Lenswood Weaver etches a wine of delicate stone fruit and citrus, with a fine seam of grilled nut and nougat.

70% MV6, 30% 14 and 115 clones fermented in 0.5 tonne lots with 15% whole bunches and some additional stalks to add structure, matured for 12 months in French barriques (50% new). Cherry-accented fruit on the bouquet and palate has a freshness that is a delight, and the additional stalks haven’t made the wine too stemmy, the oak likewise balanced.

Bunches were chilled to 5°C before being whole bunch-pressed to French barriques (50% new, 50% second use) for wild yeast fermentation, partial mlf, 12 months maturation. This, as they might say is the cat’s pyjamas, with its pyrotechnic display of grapefruit-driven fruit flavours, bright acidity and long finish. It is ambling surely along its development path.
