Tasting Notes

Critical Acclaim:

96 James Suckling. Released after seven years in bottle. Delicate yet complex aromas of finger limes, grapefruit, kerosine, sage oil, preserved lemons, gun smoke and salted nuts. The palate is high tension, with an intense concentration of flavors that are coiled around a textural palate and striking acidity. Made from vines planted in 1965, this has years of life ahead in the bottle. Excellent. Drink or hold.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

This Riesling pairs excellently with a variety of dishes. The bracing acidity and citrus notes make it a perfect match for fresh seafood like oysters, seared scallops, salt-and-pepper squid, and Thai cuisine.

About the Producer

The esteemed Pewsey Vale Vineyard was established in 1847 in the Eden Valley, marking the advent of some of Australia's first cool-climate wines. It enjoys a prime position above the Barossa Valley, situated at an altitude between 450 and 500 metres above sea level. This vantage point provides the vineyard with cooler temperatures and a greater diurnal range, allowing the grapes to retain their natural acidity and develop their fine flavours well into the cool, dry autumn. The soils are generally shallow, rocky and acidic, with special pockets of deeper soils and finer rocks where the vineyards are planted.
