REVIEWS:
Polish Hill River, not Polish Hill. Polish and polish are homographs.
Tangy lemon zest, a little salt and floral perfume, lots of talc-like texture, perhaps a little coarse, but such a good delivery of zesty citrus peel and tangy bite, that it’s very easy to like. Length is good. All the lime drizzled Riesling flavours here.
