“Brisk and grapefruity, with perhaps some touches of ruby red or cherry as well. Despite the crispness, this is relatively easy to drink, because it also has a plump mid palate and friendly nature. A versatile seafood white.”
88 Points Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast Magazine (USA) - 04-08-2008 Full Review
“Hints of fresh, loamy earth, lime, passion fruit and a whiff of dried white fruit. Clean, refreshing flavours of citrus and white fruit tinged with mineral salt and braced by a lovely zing of acidity down the middle. Excellent value.”

“Rose lychee smelling, with nashi and nettle.”
91 Points Tim White, The Australian Financial Review - 19-02-2008 Full Review
“Light yellow. Zesty, mineral-accented lime and green apple on the nose. An exotic Dijon mustard quality adds spice to the fresh orchard and citrus flavors, which are round and silky. Softer than most Western Australia rieslings, but with characteristic finishing energy. Better with food than as an aperitif.”
88 Points Josh Raynold, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 19-02-2008 Full Review
“Very bright and limey on the nose with a touch of honey, too. The palate is quite generous with fresh, crisp fruit. This is fermented to dryness and then adjusted with a portion of juice that is held for backblending, and the result is very attractive wine.”
88 Points Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak UK - 01-11-2007 Full Review
“The aim was to produce a wine more full and generous than is normal in a Great Southern Riesling. Pronounced aroma, hints of lime, wax, a little spritz. The palate has a juicy lemon-lime-sherbet flavour with nice weight and good length. Alcohol 12%.”
86 Points Andrew Barrow, Spitoon - 04-07-2007 Full Review
“Pale straw; clean, crisp and fresh; delicate citrus and passionfruit flavours, finishing with lemony acidity. Drink 2007-2016.”
92 Points James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2008 - 01-07-2007 Full Review
“Crisp, floral, fruity attack. Big palate: ripe apricots, lavender. High but rounded acidity, balanced alcohol, extremely long. Up to 5 years.”
New World Riesling Panel, Decanter Magazine - 01-06-2007 Full Review
“Best value and best in the first 12 months of its life is the MadFish Riesling ? the 2006 is bright, succulent and multi-layered with intense lemon, lime flavours, wonderful finesse and a long, dry finish. And it?s a bargain.”
Peter Forrestal, The Sunday Times - 21-01-2007 Full Review
“A different style but very attractive. Verytropical pungent characters on the nose. Lively palate with a huge hit of bright tropical flavours. Great balance. A lovely drink.”
Winestate Annual Best Wines of 2006, Winestate Magazine - 02-01-2007 Full Review
“Pale straw in colour with green hues. Wonderfully aromatic, showing limes, passionfruit and floral characters. The palate is clean and refreshing with citrus and bath salts to back up the riper fruit flavours. The finish is clean and quite mineral-like with a lovely zing of acid down the palate.”
Riesling of the Year, Winestate Magazine - 01-12-2006 Full Review
“A good medal at Mount Barker ... it?s a delicious up-front riesling: zesty and bright with lemon citrus flavours and a hint of tropical fruit. Great value!”
Peter Forrestal, The Sunday Times Top 100 Wines - 26-11-2006 Full Review
“Continues to amaze for its quality in the price bracket. This fine example of classic cool-climate riesling is stunning. Lovely lime and talcy mineral characters typify this variety.”
Ray Jordan, The West Australian - 25-11-2006 Full Review
“Has been a tremendously consistent wine that punches well above its weight. This is another beauty with the limey mineral aromas and intense tight palate. Super riesling.”
