Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling Eden Valley 2022

WINE DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
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.
