DESCRIPTION
Pewsey Vale 1961 Block Riesling 2020 is sourced from the oldest block of the Pewsey Vale vineyard, planted in 1961 in the Eden Valley. A true expression of old vines, the grapes are hand-picked, and the juice is fermented with wild yeasts before being aged for a few months on the lees prior to bottling. This low-intervention Riesling is proof that a vibrant and healthy terroir needs very little to express its full potential. On the nose, the wine is of crystalline purity, with aromas of lemon myrtle and tea tree flower, against a backdrop of crushed quartz. The palate is taut, pure, long, and ageless, as described by the estate itself, with an evocative minerality. In magnum, it will easily keep for 15 years or more. Enjoy with kingfish sashimi, spring rolls, or dishes with fresh herbs.
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:
A Riesling from old vines that whispers rather than shouts: lemon myrtle, quartz, absolute purity. You can feel that the vine needed no help. Rare and precious.
