Download Full Winemaker Note
Wine Bouquet The wine has lifted aromas of lemon and lime combined with subtle floral perfume in the background.
Wine Palate On release, the wine displays an abundance of citrus fruit flavours including a hint of pithy lemon character. There is richness to the mid palate which is well balanced by a crisp central line of bracing acidity. The finish is clean and crisp and shows great persistence.
Cellaring Notes This wine has been crafted for immediate enjoyment but will also reward cellaring under ideal conditions up to and possibly beyond 2020.

The elegant citrus characters of lime and lemon and the tropical fruit give a crisp palate finishing with a lively, balanced acidity.
Wakefield Estate Riesling 201289/100The Vinsomniac, November 2012
Fresh. lemon and lime sorbet. Not much to shout about aromatically but things liven up where it counts. A richer palate, fuller, zesty with pithy lemon. Full - again that word - rather than racy and linear like many a Riesling. Citrus moves toward the finish, a hint of orange oil. Good length, a good wine.Easy Eating

Fresh lime and lemon with a hint of citrus blossom. Great value quality Reisling, slip a couple in the beer fridge ready for a hot afternoon.

Riesling is one of the most food friendly varieties around. This aromatic drop with its perfumed notes, lemon and lime spectrum and zesty acidity would work a treat with fresh oysters.Riesling
