    A floral nose leads to crisp apple, lemon and lime fruit. It is soft in the mouth, with a clean, juicy finish. Try this with fresh shellfish.

    Light straw-green; a very well-crafted riesling at this price point, the varietal expression clear, the flavours with more flesh and the acidity less pointed than many from the vintage; is fruity rather than sweet, and there's no need to wait.

    Fragrant and perfumed nose with orange blossom and tropical fruits. Quite a layered palate with balanced acidity, lemon and crisp fruit salad flavours. An approachable, rounded wine to be enjoyed now.

    Light and fragrant riesling displaying a nice mix of floral and citrus notes on the nose. The palate is clean and pure with a refreshing zippy acid. It's a riesling for the short term with excellent fruit flavours. Ideal with some spicy food.

    The Taylors Promised Land Riesling 2011, in a non-riesling bottle, is one for the picnic basket. Whisk off the screwcap and enjoy the florals and freshness of the fruit.

    Tasting Panel, Wine Buzz, April 2012


    Honeydew, lemon drop aromas with a bit of mineral undercurrent; loaded with flavors of apples, pears and peaches and a big blast of lime on the finish.

    A nose of Meyer lemon and wildflowers opens on to zippy lime zest character, with a flirty hint of hard candy for a fun, easy drinking wine.

    A Clare Valley label usually guarantees riesling quality and this is a good example. Despite a moderate price tag, it offers attractive varietal personality, with aromas of blossom, slatey ground and citrus. It is clean and dry-tasting, with fine texture, a straightforward riesling flavour and a zippy finish.
