Delicately luscious riesling that builds a delicious tension between sweetness and mouth-tingling acidity that helps emphasise the wine's mandarin, wildflower, lime, citrus and chalky-mineral flavours. I'm guilty of buying earlier vintages in quantity to see how they develop, but find the wine so irresistible it's usually gone within a year of purchase. Fortunately, I have friends who also love Felton Road Riesling and have more self control. The wine is capable of ageing for at least a couple of decades with careful cellaring. Bob Campbell MW
