Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling

This wine and the philosophy behind it has not changed significantly since the first wine was made from the 1964 harvest. A blend from most of the blocks on the vineyard, this wine expresses the hallmarks of Eden Valley and the Pewsey Vale Vineyard.

Wine Production

Since 2011, parcels have been fermented with the wild yeast that comes in on the grapes from the vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw in colour with green hues. Intense aromas reminiscent of fine dried herbs, white flowers, lemon and lime. The palate shows great length and depth with grapefruit and lime, fresh rosemary, white pepper and a hint of tropical fruit. The wine finishes with a fresh natural acidity which balances the flavour intensity,and a minerality that will reward medium to long-term cellaring

Food Pairing

Enjoy on its own, or with seared scallops, Thai noodle salad or salt and pepper squid.

“A breathtakingly joyful wine! Stunning nose of ripe orange and melon! This is simultaneously extremely expressive, juicy and elegant on the medium-bodied palate. Near-perfect balance right through the super-mineral finish that’s super precise and really uplifting. Amazing value for money!”

“A widely loved wine in Australia, this 2022 Single Vineyard Estate Riesling shows off the many virtues of the 2022 vintage. In the mouth, it is concentrated and delicious, and it holds true to its Eden Valley regional characters of crushed rocks, flowers and intense acidity. It's a brilliant wine. One for the ages.”

POINTS
“This 2022 Single Vineyard Estate Riesling is rocky, dry, floral, fleshy, tight, talc-y, curved and flowing. It has austerity and meat in equal measure, and it lingers long after the wine has gone. What a great wine. It's pleasurable and age-worthy, with brilliant structural integrity and impressive freshness. It's complex as well. Great!”
Wine Advocate

POINTS
“An open-knit, floral bouquet of honeysuckle and jasmine, along with peach, lime and ginger, opens to a mouthfeel that’s almost surprisingly dry considering the honeyed nature of the nose. There’s a chalky texture, delicate flavor and lovely lift of acidity.”

About the Vineyard

A beautiful wet winter set the vines up for a healthy start to the growing season. A drier than average spring meant the vines responded quickly; growing and flowering well and setting a good number of bunches. Summer was warm and dry with cool nights to ripen the grapes and maintain freshness and natural acidity. The balmy Indian summer of early March helped finish the ripening of these perfectly balanced and flavoured grapes.
