REVIEWS:

A beautifully formed riesling here, quite a lot of gin, lime and tonic and wet martini characters, right through to brined green olive and sea spray. Licks of nuttiness amongst this, too, lending a savoury edge. Good chew and chalkiness to texture. Building all this together you get an ultra-refreshing, vibrant and distinct riesling of supreme drinkability and interest.

I’m watching ‘Colin from Accounts’ at the moment. I like it. I also like ‘Colin from Clare’.

Smells a bit like a bunch of roses, juniper and green olive, lime and lime rind. It’s a more savoury style, slightly nutty, with a light chalky grip, green apple and citrus, a light tang to acidity, and a quinine-laced finish of good length. A bit different, but very good. Holds your interest from start to finish.
