Scarcebrook included this wine in his top six wines from the tasting, describing “great concentration on the aromatics – vibrant quince, slightly underripe nectarine, elderflower cordial, and lime-scented lollies. There’s depth, concentration, and texture in spades here – it’s rich …
With its pristine aromatics and dry, lightly textured, savoury finish, the Tapanappa Eden Valley Riesling makes for great drinking now or over the medium term. Pale in the glass with a flash of green and aromas of fresh lime juice, …
Pale and crystal bright lemon hue. Dried papaya, grapefruit pith and yellow floral aromatics. Good intensity of lime fruit, hints of tropical lift and a seaspray minerality. There’s a textural element that suggests sweetness but the ample acidity and astutely …
