"Fabulously expressed on the nose showing green rockmelon, kaffir lime, crunchy apple and nectarine notes, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering excellent fruit purity and persistency. Upfront and delectably appealing."

Expert Reviews
“Typical Adelaide Hills restraint with a little bit of green herb on the nose, but in that thyme zone rather than a lantana patch. Tight focus, nice acid and sea-spray salinity. It's pretty bloody smart, actually.”
STUART KNOX - GOOD FOOD August 2020
“Pungent crunchy and classically savvy from the Adelaide Hills. Lots of vibrant passionfruit characters here. Nice little wine.”
RAY JORDAN - THE WEST AUSTRALIAN August 2020
"Cut-grass and green gerbiage aromas, some stalky notes. Clean and well-made. Crisp, tangy, dry palate, with lively acidity and some tension. Moderate length, clean and appetising finish. The acid draws the finish out."
HUON HOOKE - THE REAL REVIEW September 2020
"Ben and I spent time together in South Australia and travelled to Northern Tasmania to personally select this range of wines. We are proud to bring to you our first release under the Ponting Wines label, with more exciting wines coming on line soon."...
