DESCRIPTION
Pewsey Vale The Contours Museum Release Riesling 2017 is crafted from old vines on the coolest slope of the Pewsey Vale vineyard in the Eden Valley, on shallow sandy soils with quartz and shale gravels. Fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Released after 7 years of bottle aging in 2024. It features 12.5% alcohol and 0.4 g/L of residual sugar.
On the nose, a pale straw color with green hues. Intense aromas of classic lemon fruit with notes of white flowers. Bottle aging characters of toast, clove oil, and lemongrass emerge and combine with fresh citrus. On the palate, great length and depth with concentrated power, pristine lime juice overlaid with toasted brioche, sage oil, and lime marmalade. Concludes with a soft and refreshing natural acidity.
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.
