Steely and fresh on the nose, with enjoyable bitter citrus rind, mineral, lychee and green apple, the 2011 Riesling Lewis Estate Vineyard is surprisingly sweet and voluptuous on the palate, with a medium-bodied, off-dry mid-palate and racy, tangy acidity on the finish. Picking up a whiff of petrol as it sat in the glass, it offers solid typicity and a delicious, easy drinking feel. Drink bottles over the coming handful of years. Drink now-2014.
