The bouquet is fresh and elegantly intense with a complex array of detailed aromas of exotic floral, jasmine, lime fruit, honeysuckle and sherbet, revealing lively, piquant mineral and herb notes. Off-dry to medium in taste, very refined and intensely piercing flavours of exotic florals and lime fruit are the feature on palate.
The mouth feel is near-seamless, refreshing and lively, with soft lacy acidity underlining the fruit. Excellent tension and luscious detail enhance the vitality and linearity, and the flavours lead to a very long, thirst-quenching, soft finish carrying exotic floral nuances. This is a beautifully refined, subtly exotic medium-dry Riesling with refreshing detail and vitality.
4 STARS - WINE ORBIT 2013
A delightful charmer showing lifted aromas of white peach, lemon/lime, floral and a hint of flint. It's juicy and vibrant on the palate with lovely fruit weight and subtle sweetness, beautifully framed by crisp acidity. The finish is long, fine and very appealing.
4 STARS - WINENZ 2013
A youthful Riesling that shows lots of promise. Bright and fresh and quite floral with plenty of flinty, fresh apple and lime zest characters. Tightly structured and firm in texture.
5 STARS - RAYMOND CHAN 2013
Bright, pale straw-yellow colour with slight green hues on rim. The bouquet is fresh and elegantly intense with a complex array of detailed aromas of exotic florals, jasmine, lime fruit, honeysuckle and sherbet, revealing lively, piquant mineral and herb notes. Off-dry to medium in taste, very refined and intensely piercing flavours of exotic florals and lime fruit are the feature on palate. The mouth-feel is near-seamless, refreshing and lively, with soft lacy acidity underlining the fruit. Very fine phenolics provide a flowing mouth-feel with positive drive. Excellent tension and luscious detail enhance the vitality and linearity, and the flavours lead to a very long, thirst-quenching, soft finish carrying exotic floral nuances. This is a beautifully refined, subtly exotic medium-dry Riesling with refreshing detail and vitality. Serve as an aperitif and with fine Asian fare over the next 5-7 years.
4 STARS - CUISINE MAGAZINE - RECOMMENDED BY CUISINE
"Waimea is a Riesling producer to watch. This wine is quite shy and youthful, but the crisp bright purity it does display points to a long and happy life. Lime zest and mineral notes hold the sway; the acid line has cut.
4 STARS - WINESTATE 2014
"Punchy, medium-bodied style with strong, vibrant lemon, apple and spice flavour, a gentle splash of sweetness and lively acidity. Youthful, with good potential."
