This is excellent! Keeda Zilm is making all the right moves here in the late John Vickery's honour with this Vickery Reserve Watervale Riesling.
Sourced from the Koerner G6 Block planted in 2001, the energy and fluency are thrilling. A wine with a long future, the balance and shape at this early stage certainly support that argument.
Lemons, lemon juice and a lemon cordial concentration, the flicker of fennel and rosemary sprig sit in the background. The longer it sits, the more lime zest and Bickfords lime cordial shuffle there way forward. The mid-palate seizes up with a talc-like texture but that tightly held noose is the coil we patiently wait to unravel. Hold this and you'll be grinning from ear to ear.
