A masterclass in its purity of varietal expression, citrus blossom and a waft of spice on the bouquet, then a mouthwatering display of crushed lime leaf, unsweetened lemon and green apple sorbet. Life-sustaining acidity is the first and last sensation in the mouth.

Mount Barker was one of the first regions in the Great Southern to gain attention and it is still one of the best, with the Whispering Hill Single Vineyard Riesling a local leader. This vintage has an impressive pale colour and then shows exotic spicy fruits – green mango, citrus and cardamon with good precision and focus. The palate is then beautifully silky with more pear and guava fruits but still underlined by citrus fruits with a firm line of acidity that drives a long, elegant and understated finish. A strong vintage with a good future ahead.

Light straw hue, with dried floral and passionfruit aromas, tropical and fragrant, if not that strong on classic riesling character. Flowery lavender notes later, the palate lean and delicate and built to age, while the acidity is admirably seamless.
