Such character! Lime cordial, dusty spices, peach, white flowers, thyme etc. It’s juicy and just off dry, intensity of flavour almost like a Starburst, with a fine chalky texture, crushed rocks kind of thing, some preserved lemon tang and gentle bitterness, a bit savoury too, and very long. It’s compelling and fun at once. Good now, probably later too, but kind of hard to resist.
95 Points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Notes
For Burn Cottage Gruner Veltliner Riesling, both varieties are hand harvested at an average ripeness of 21.3 Brix on 20th April 2017. Riesling (67% of the blend) had 24 hour maceration with gentle foot crush to bathe the bunches in juice. Pressed separately from the Grüner Veltliner, which saw no skin contact this year and was gently pressed as whole bunches. Fermented and aged in stainless steel barrels and old oak barriques for 11 months. Alcohol 12.8%; RS 10.2g/L; TA 8g/L.
The delicate perfume of lime blossom, jasmine and quince accompanies layers of spice, white peach and pear notes. There is great focus and fine phenolic texture through the palate, with juicy acidity lending persistence. Medium-dry in style, this is wine delicious now, but will also reward those who cellar it. – Claire Mulholland, Burn Cottage
