Riesling
Crisp, dry and flavoursome, with lovely fresh, succulent, mineral/lime characters. Will age very well. Cellar 5+ years.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201090/100Courier Mail, January 2011
Lime and floral characters dominate the nose and palate of this ever-reliable South Australian riesling, with a nice mineral backbone and crisp finish. It's great drinking by itself but also teams well with seafood or chicken dishes and has the pedigree to develop well in the bottle over a few years.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201088/100Western Australian, February 2011
A bracing, refreshing acidity highlights this nice little riesling from Clare Valley. Has a crisp minerally influence on the palate. A fine lingering acid and a touch of lemon juice brightens the palate. Excellent in the short term or with another five years in the cellar.Wine - Three of the Best

Juicy and vibrant palate with a fine vein of citrus and minerality. Hints of honey and paw paw with a peach and citrus palate.

2010 Wakefield Clare Valley Riesling Delicate floral/limey aromas lead to a very fine palate having vibrant, lemon/limey flavours and a pleasing acid backbone. Enjoy over the next couple of years.New releases from Australia
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201090 pointsJosh Raynolds, Stephen Tanser's International Wine Cellar, July 2011
New releases from Australia
Bright straw. Mineral-accented aromas of lime, lemongrass, mint and white flowers, with a hint of smokiness. Very dry and precise, with good tangy bite to its citrus and orchard fruit flavours. Nervey, clean and pure on the finish, with a chalky quality and lingering spiciness. I like this wine's balance and verve.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 20103 starsDecanter Magazine (UK), September 2011
Fresh, ripe lemon sherbet bouquet. Firm steely backbone of grapefruit acidity fleshed out with ripe citrus fruit flavour. Needs timeÆ
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201089/100Glen Frederiksen, Winelines Online (USA), October 2011
Distinctly varietal, this wineÆs aromatics include pine needle, rose petal, citrus blossom and ripe apple fruit. In the mouth, thereÆs lots of lime and minerality. It finishes with a juicy, sweet-tart edge. This would pair well with ceviche in lime juice.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201091/100Australian Wine Annual, November 2011
Musky, floral and intensely flavoured, this generous and brightly flavoured riesling has a punchy, almost pungent bouquet of lime juice and lemon lifted by scents of white flowers, musk and backed by a mineral hint of bathpowder. It's juicy, crunchy palate fills the mouth with intence if not complex flavours, finishing marginally sweet, with a lemon sherbet note.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201086 pointsWine Advocate (USA), November 2011
Light and crisp, with a perfumed bouquet of baby powder and lime blossom. Simple green apple and lime flavors carry a tart edge through the finish.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 2010Greymouth Evening Star, January 2012
Very dry and quite different to Kiwi Rieslings has been the tradition in Australia. Aromas of orange and lime flavours of lemon and limes and a minerality that is reminiscent of sucking a dry stone. An acquired taste.Best Wines of 2011

Best Wines of 2011
Light, lifted lime juice bouquet and a very elegant pristine palate with fresh and lively honeydew-like flavours. Good acid spine balancing the fruit sweetness. Hints of kero.
