After many years in the Hunter Valley, winemaker Samantha Connew has established herself as one of the brightest lights in the Tasmanian wine scene. Here she turns her attention to Coal River Valley riesling. There's almost a Germanic feel to this wine with its pristine white peach, lime juice and green apple crunch, along with hints of beeswax, almond blossom, makrut lime, Epsom salts and sea spray. Precise and focused with crystalline acidity and pitch-perfect tension as it saunters the ridgeline of fruit sweetness and acidity finishing dry with impressive detail, clarity and drive. Astounding value. -96pts, Dave Brookes for Halliday Wine Companion
