DESCRIPTION
The Contours Museum Release Riesling is grown on Pewsey Vale's coolest slope, giving this Riesling a natural acidity and freshness. Typical South Australian Riesling aromas of lemon zest, crunchy green apple and white florals appear on the bouquet, while the five years of ageing have enabled the palate to develop notes of lemongrass, clove and toasted bread. Tense, powerful and fresh, this bottle has great length and depth - one to drink now or keep in the cellar for a few more years to really develop the richness and complexity.
REGION
Eden Valley
Australia
Eden Valley lies within the Barossa region and is recognised as one of the great Riesling regions of the world and one of Australia's first cool climate wine regions. Eden Valley wines stand out for their character, wonderful aromas, elegance, complexity and finesse. With a winemaking history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards in the world. Traditional grape growing continues with a focus on sustainability, as the fifth and sixth generations of the first settlers keep farming their family vineyards.
Recommended for you:
This Australian Riesling is striking for its minerality and tension. Citrus and floral aromas balance each other perfectly. A wine of great precision that will age beautifully.
