Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Springvale Riesling is youthfully reticent with lovely floral notes of peach blossoms and jasmine over a core of green apples, crushed stones and lemon juice. Light-bodied, dry, crisp and pristine on the palate, it offers vibrant citrus flavors and a long finish.

• Decanter: The Watervale sub-regions generous soft rock red loam over limestone translates into a more expressive, fruit-driven style. While Polish Hill builds on the finish, Springvale 2015 has classic Watervale intensity and attack, with pure lime and lifted kaffir lime. Now that the vines roots have hit a vein of slate, Springvale is firmer, more mineral than most, with chalky dry extract going through. Very incisive, long and lip-smacking.
