Dave Brookes

"This famous name will be familiar to lovers of Australian riesling. In recent times it has turned its attention to Tasmania, here, the conical White Hills vineyard just south of Launceston. It's steely and focused with a lipsmacking mineral sapidity while showing the concentration that is becoming familiar off the 2023 vintage. Lime, lemon and grapefruit are stretched tautly over a frame of crushed stone and white flowers. Precise, driving and just wonderful drinking, it's a superb example of tension, clarity and velocity, with pristine fruit travelling true and dry and leaving an ache of umami in its wake. 97 Points."

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Lifted Floral and musk notes on the nose complimented with strawberry fruit characteristics.

Flavours and Palate

The palate is very even and generous with white peach and subtle lemon flavours, encased in a structural palate that should see this wine age gracefully for 10 - 15 years.

Tasmania

The Apple Isle is aptly nicknamed for its fresh and pure produce – its seafood and sparkling are national treasures. Some of the best intensely flavoured and aromatic Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir around also thrive in Tassie’s pristine, cool climate.
