2010 Yalumba Y Reisling

This is a cheapish wine supported by wine critic Jane Faulkner in the Sydney Morning Herald's Saturday Sepctrum. I've yet to site the cheapish vermentino in the range. The reisling is a light- to mid-gold in colour. Unusual. Much of the reisling I've currently been drinking is very pale. It has pear in the perfume. And on the palate there's immediately banana and then citrus. It has good mid-length. It's a sophisticated wine for the price range= around $10. Very nice drinking. Distinctive. I initially did not like the change in the label for this series, which used to feature a big Y and no image. Now there are different images on the grape varieties, this one featurning a green and lime tree. But that suits the sense of freshness from the wine. And it's in that distinct and gorgeous, thin  relising bottle.
