Limefinger The Solace Polish Hill River Riesling 2025

Our Verdict

“A horrific frost wiped out around 80% of fruit in the Solace block. The result is that only 780 bottles of this wine were produced. Despite the difficult growing season, this is a wild success. It feels energetic, tense and racy, a slingshot of cumquat, tart lime, quartz-like mineral feel, slate and some flinty elements. A chalky pucker to texture lends a sense of structure; the finish is a trickle of peppery spice and briny minerality. A delicate wine, nervous and agile and hugely mouth-watering. Perhaps best drunk with youth on its side; a stellar riesling emerges from the glass right now.” 96 Points - Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion

“The best of the best stand up in challenging times and Neil Pike reigns supreme from a frost-impacted 2025. Down on volume but the quality remains sky high, this is brilliance in a bottle. Many Rieslings call for ice-cold throwbacks, but this asks you to pause, consider and savour every drop. Please do. For the challenges faced, this is sheer brilliance and delight all rolled into one.” 97 Points - Q Wine Review
