95 Points “Sticky Tea. What a name! The colour reminds me of the water at Lake Cootharaba (just north of Noosa) which is stained by tea tree leaves. But this is none of that. Riesling basket pressings that have been fermented then pressed off. It’s excellent and quite delicious! No doubt the name has come from the end result too. This smells and tastes of cold tea. But there’s a well-handled and well-managed sweetness here. Balance is the key and this nails it. I love the fine rub of, dare I say, tea-like tannins too. Dried apricots and peaches early, there are scents of dried yellow flowers as well. This nails that post-meal cleanser. Pass the cheeseboard, please.” Qwine, Feb 2022 94 Points “Vibrant orange wine colour. I like the name ‘Sticky Tea Riesling’. ‘Wet’ grape skins are refermented to make this wine. Has exotic tea-like characters (!) in spades here. Kind of orange wine, kind of light dessert wine, very interesting and delicious, refreshing, textural and complex. Dried mixed peel scents, some mandarin juice, a bit of chamomile and bergamot too. Sweetness, but quickly dry and chalky. Ripper drink.” The Winefront, Mike Bennie
