Hewitson, 'Gun Metal' Riesling 2022
DESCRIPTION
Hewitson is not your average winemaker. Dean Hewitson, aka the ‘Mad Hatter,’ makes extraordinary wine, some from extraordinarily old vines that date back to 1853 (P.P. - pre-phylloxera). This Riesling is grown in Eden Valley, a well-known area in Australia for this variety. The Gun Metal does not need to pull out the big guns, it speaks for itself. This wine boasts a lovely dry minerality, but it’s the lime that gives it its kick. The Gun Metal is the perfect partner for a branzino, salmon, or sauerkraut.
