Eden Valley is located in the Barossa and is recognised as one of the world’s great Riesling regions, and one of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions. Eden Valley wines are distinctive in their character, displaying wonderful aromatics, elegance, complexity and finesse. With a wine making history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the world’s oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards. Traditional grape growing continues with a focus on sustainability, with fifth and sixth generations of the original settlers continuing to operate their family wineries.
Goûté avec une blanquette de veau, ce vieux Riesling a bluffé mes invités. Notes de pétrole, de citron confit, et une acidité tranchante. Ça changer!
Le vin blanc sec, un peu épicé avec arôme de herves, coriandre et poire. Très complexité.
Delicate aromas of lime, crushed stones, and beeswax lead into a racy palate full of tension and grace. A fantastic example of aged Australian Riesling with purity and drive.
Lime cordial, lemon zest, and hints of toast and lanolin unfold in this beautifully matured Riesling. The 2016 ‘Contours’ is crisp, layered, and incredibly focused. Still fresh, yet with the complexity only time can bring.
Absolutely loved this bottle. It’s crisp and mineral-driven, but with just the right amount of mellow age character — lime, beeswax, and that touch of petrol I adore in mature Rieslings. It’s complex but still so refreshing. A real gem from Eden Valley.

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.
