2023 Felton Road Bannockburn Riesling
95 Points - James Halliday’s Wine Companion
The dance between high tensile focus and fruit concentration is done beautifully here. Minerality and cadence is a leitmotif with this wine. Notes of white peach, lime, grapefruit, crushed river-stone, lemongrass, lemon barley water, Christmas lily and lime cordial. There's a wonderful tubular palate shape, the flavours pulling across the tongue at pace, before coalescing and flowing seamlessly off into the distance, dry and slatey. Just lovely.
92 Points - James Suckling
