    LATE HARVEST

    6 TASTED

    2 AWARDED

    The two wines reviewed here showed complexity and freshness of fruit with balanced acid to sugar. Those that did not make the grade were either stale or had a lack of fruit intensity.

    K1 by Geoff Hardy Adelaide Hills Autumn Harvest Riesling 2018 ★★★★★

    Light golden wine with complex, lifted aromatics of apricots, orange peel, some florals and hints of honey. Silky smooth in the mouth with lovely sweetness balanced by zingy acidity. $25

    Longview Vineyard Epitome Adelaide Hills Late Harvest Riesling 2018 ★★★

    Simple subtle style with confectionery sweetness, light florals and a squeeze of lemon! $25

    OTHER SWEET STYLES

    12 TASTED

    2 AWARDED

    The judged were disappointed overall with this group. Some poor winemaking obvious here with excessive pressings bitterness, stale fruit and either unbalanced sweetness or, with the imports, surprisingly, excessive acidity. A couple worth trying.

    Alkoomi Cordon Cut Frankland River Sticky Semillon 2017 (375ml) ★★★★½

    Fresh fruit salad fragrances with tropical notes. Luscious palate; sweet and complex tasting of butterscotch and honeyed fruit with nicely balancing acidity. $20

    Domaine Tariquet Dernières Grives IGP Côtes de Gascogne Petit Manseng 2016 ★★★

    Deep golden wine with nutty caramel nose and powerful orange characters on the ageing palate.
