Keeda Zilm is the keeper of the flame maintaining the late John Vickery's legacy and she's nailed this Reserve Watervale Riesling. What a masterclass this is in capturing the freshness and vibrance of Riesling all the while keeping in mind this has three years already under its belt. Whoa!
Lemon curd, lime zest and citrus oil rush at you. There is a devilishly moreish phenolic grip as lime juice coils around the mouth. A wine with measured calmness, the shape and elegance glides in top gear. A brilliant expression of Riesling from top to toe that is captivating and joyous now yet it will reward patience for many years yet.
