Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

It's beautifully scented on the nose with aromas of grilled pineapple, Gala apple, orange peel, fennel, and rich floral. The palate displays excellent weight and richly textured mouthfeel, complemented by elegant sweetness and vibrant acidity, making it superbly harmonious and lingering. Style: Medium.

Emma Jenkins MW - Decanter

Bright, fleshy and tangy, with a gorgeous nose, like walking through a ripe orchard on a summer’s day. Layered, succulent palate with good weight and length, medium sweetness with plenty of verve and a clean finish, very moreish. The house style is to incorporate some botrytis where possible, which adds a marmalade richness. Very well-balanced, delicious and inviting now, though Pegasus Bay’s excellent Riesling provenance gives confidence this will age well.

James Suckling

Pure and vibrant, with aromas of lime blossoms, green apples and white peaches. Medium-bodied with lively acidity balancing the gentle sweetness. Tense and mouthwatering, with a mineral-driven finish. Elegant and bright. Sustainable.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous

The 2025 Riesling is light, bright and mouthwatering with a distinctly floral character akin to jasmine tea. Vibrant acidity slices through the just-off-dry palate, leaving a clean finish with more jasmine as well as mandarin and a sweet green note. Though initially reductive, it improves a few days after opening.
