Description I did a little checking on the Featherstone website to see what the availability of this wine was (250 cases produced), because this wine proves to be extremely popular each and every year. On the website, I was warned not to tell the exact make up of this primarily Riesling blend, because every year it’s just a little different … and Lord knows I do not want to be chained to the cellar wall. So instead of revealing the secret blend (to which I may or may not have been privy to), let’s look at what makes this wine so tasty and drinkable. We’ll start with the floral, citrus, pineapple and honey nose … you’ll notice the honey aspect begins to show through once the wine has warmed up a bit. On the palate it’s soft, supple and smooth with a slight hint of citrus and some peach flavours. Plus, it’s got a hint of sweetness, but nothing overpowering, it’s a pleasant, light and lively wine and it flies off the shelf, usually selling out by the time they close up for the winter … (that’s at least one secret I can tell you without worry of recrimination).
