Pewsey Vale Vineyard
1961 Block Single Vineyard Estate Eden Valley Riesling
Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Family home for Christmas so these are brief notes. From a block of vines planted in 1961. A dry style but showing more fulsome flavours than the usual lime/lemon citrus. I actually enjoyed this as much as the Grosset Springvale.

Limpid, green-tinged yellow. Mineral- and spice-tinged citrus and orchard fruit scents are complemented by deeper melon and peach flourishes. Vibrant and precise on the palate, offering sappy Meyer lemon, pear, quinine and honeysuckle flavors and a touch of bitter peach pit. Closes very long and nervy, with a resonating mineral note and lingering citrus fruit character. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2021)

Green apple and tangy apricot delivered with great vibrancy. Slight mineral under tone. Great wine that perfectly paired with a Bavarian style vegan meal 🤓 - yes sounds paradoxical but true! Wanted to cook some brats with it but we were out 😅

Heady, perfume-like aromas of peaches, nutmeg, white flowers, citrus peel, and slight petrol and oyster shells. Straddles the line between old and new world Riseling notes, but lacks the viscosity of an Alsatian wine. Lingering, slight effervescent finish. I'd rate it higher based on the exquisite bouquet, but the odd finish at the end turns me off a bit.

Apple, peach, straw and honeydew on the nose. A mouthwatering complexity on the palate, driven by a persistent acidity that is nonetheless never overwhelming. I get lemon rind, bitter herbs, unripe peach, and almost a medicinal, echinacea-like finish. Pleasingly unique.

Nice and dry, but not amazing. Apple, citrus? Some acidity but not too much.
