Sourced from the 30 year old Thorn vineyard in the Eden Valley, with a portion from the Adelaide Hills.

A tropical, forward and flat sort of nose here – fuller, riper, and less defined than you’d expect. A generous palate too, with plump fruits, a little residual perhaps and a short, soft finish.

Easy going Riesling this with gentle varietal characters but little else. Ultimately looks a bit dull, broad and shapeless for mine. Expected more.
