90 Points—Wine Enthusiast, 2005, USA ‘A bit richer than most NZ SB’s, with chalky, mineral notes that elevate it above the crowd. Take complex aromas of peach, apple, grapefruit and mineral, add nectarine flavours and a long finish, and you’ve got a winning recipe!’

5 Stars—Winestate Magazine, Aus/NZ 2005
The Colorado Wine News (02/05) - ‘This wine has a bouquet of honeysuckle, mineral, and spice introducing light-bodied flavours of lemon-lime, mineral and spice which finish medium-broad. Simple for everyday drinking.’
Dan Berger’s Vintage Experiences USA (12/04) - Reviewed as ‘Exceptional’. “Dramatic spicy nose of gardenia, lychee and tropical fruit; slightly off-dry, a perfect match for Thai foods.”
Whitley on Wine USA (02/05) - “Kathy Lynskey has single-handedly demonstrated that fat, juicy, mouth-filling Alsation-style gewurz really can be attained in the New World. The nose of spice and rose petal is pure gewurz, too. It may not have the steely acid backbone of an Alsation gewurz, but everything else is in place.”
