South Australia has gained worldwide recognition for producing definitive world-class riesling and Eden Valley always features. In their youth, the wines possess scented floral and citrus aromas, with a mineral edge and marked natural acidity, contributing significantly to the palate texture and flavour.

Nose:
A kaleidoscopic ascent of citrus derivatives – lemon sherbet is the first to be impatiently released; later, at their own pace and more assuredly, notes of Tahitian lime and lemon verbena. And then there’s more – scents of citrus bath salts/fresh linen and lemongrass … No shortage of highly aromatic descriptors remain, primarily a beguiling limestone-talc lift, yet it’s the freshness and vitality of another retronasal engagement that impresses further – freshly-cut flowers, freshly-cut fennel, freshly-sliced cucumber, sea spray.
Palate:
No shortage of flavour, yet as noted in the commentary above, it’s the fineness and purity of this youthful riesling that immediately impacts upon that first sip. If we were to proactively and immediately leap to the other end of the palate – it certainly finishes exactingly clean and ‘soft’. Be assured, no lack of acidity, no lack of attaque …albeit gently. What of the mid-palate, flavours? Certainly a highlight – finger lime, lemon/lime zest, again sherbet, juniper berries, mirin, and a slatey/crushed marble chalkiness. Eden Valley riesling attired in its Sunday-best.
