I really like single vineyard wines, I just feel they have a bit more of a story to tell with the ability to point to a block of vines and a patch and say "this is from where I came". To that end its a shame when a winery doesn't back up that story with having an up to date website.
The aroma provides hallmark Watervale Riesling fruit: varietal apple and citrus, particularly the familiar lime. However it is on the palate that the wine shines. Spritz on entry and tongue tingling acidity. As you allow the wine to float around the mouth there's some familiar slatey minerality.
This is hard to describe, but do try it and I'm sure you'll understand where I am trying to come from. Toward the finish, a touch more spritz, good acid and a reappearance of some of the quality fruit shining through. All up, a very smart dry Riesling.
