Clear and crisp with a pleasant acidity. I don't drink that much white but I might well have this again.

Sorry but not at all enamoured of this one. I left aside the memories of my dalliances with Piesporter, Blue Nun, Blacktower and Liebfraumilch.....and tried to taste it with an open mind. <br />Quite acidic, slightly effervescent but not to my taste, the flavour reminded me of hydrocarbon products and l tried not to think of some of those Austrian practices a few years back!!! <br />Very pale wine, flavour is all up front and little if any lingering taste/flavour. <br />Sorry, l accept this is all down to taste, and l am one usually optimistic, but not an experience l will rush to repeat. <br />

I love top German Riesling but Chilean varieties are very different: intense and with diesel notes. Not for me I'm afraid but others will like it.

Quite nice - quite perfumy but a nice light drink.

Well, this was a great and delightful surprise. For me Riesling is the finest of white wine grapes, and this is an exquisite example: disciplined, intense, complex. The dominant flavour is grapefruit, but that makes it sound like an overblown Australian, and it is anything but. It is much more European in style -- with the light body of Mosel, but the intensity and dryness of Alsace. One small quibble: 13.5% alcohol?? Who needs that kind of headache? But on the whole, a treat!
