Pewsey Vale 1961 Block Riesling Eden Valley – 2019
CHF 29.90
Pewsey Vale make some of the most famous Rieslings in Australia, based high up at 500mts altitude in the Eden Valley, above Barossa. 1961 Block is their oldest plot of vines – planted as the name suggests back in 1961. The grapes are hand-picked, wild-fermented, then aged for a few months on their lees before being bottled and released.
This wine is pristine with aromas and flavours of lemon myrtle and tea tree blossom. With crushed quartz minerality, it is evocative, seamless and ageless. The wine shows great tautness and line as a young wine that will delight early drinkers as well as those who put it in the cellar.
Enjoy with kingfish sashimi and chillu lime dressing, or vegetable spring rolls with Vietnamese herbs.
“This has all the hallmarks of a great Riesling. Balance of citrus, spices and a mineral sensation to the acidity. It has a light raw silk texture and depth, yet is never showy. It’s all class!” 95/100pts James Halliday
