Critics Ratings

2011 - ‘Vibrant, bracing and compelling, this white aims pear, pineapple and lime flavors straight to the palate. Persists impressively on the finish.’ - Wine Spectator, 91/100

‘Punched up aromas of lime sherbet, talcum powder and apple blossom only tell part of the story. This is a concentrated wine with a firm backbone of acid that shows off the intense citrus character, plus hints of crushed stone and underripe peaches.’ - Wine Enthusiast, 90/100

‘Yalumba's bone dry single vineyard Riesling. There is certainly fruit but not the finest nose at the moment. I found some suggestion of polish. Rather heavier than usual. This wine is usually leaner and fresher. But at least it's not painfully skinny.’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 16/20 (Nov 2012)

2014 - ‘Taut, sleek, polished and distinctively spicy, with black pepper, white pepper, floral and citrus flavors on a lively frame. Best from 2019 through 2030.’ - Wine Spectator, 91/100

‘Taut, introvert nose; perhaps the wine is starting to retreat into its shell? Very juicy on the palate with lots of substance. Bone dry with a green fruit character. Again that slightly powdery character on the finish (like the 2015). Very proud and substantial. You feel as though there would be a lot left in the Petri dish ... Smouldering finish, though less ethereal than the 2015.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Sep 2015)

‘For such a young wine, this seems surprisingly developed—or maybe it's just riper than usual. It may lack in bracing lemon-lime department, but hints of apple blossoms and tropical fruit turn spicy and a bit apricot-like on the long finish.’ - Wine Enthusiast
