Single Vineyard, Eden Valley Wines of elegance and finesse
ESTATE GROWN . FAMILY OWNED
Out of stock
The 2017 Riesling was carefully blended from three different blocks within the Avon Brae Vineyard resulting in a wine of elegance and complexity. It is pale straw in colour showing citrus blossom and sherbet on the nose. There is generosity of fruit on the palate revealing luscious lime juice and lemon with perfect acid balance providing a clean finish.
An outstanding Eden Valley Riesling, drinking beautifully now, but like its predecessors is built to last.
In stark contrast to the previous year, the 2017 growing season followed a long wet winter that replenished soil water profiles and a wet, windy September. A mild summer included regular rainfall events ensuring a long, cool ripening period. Bunch weights were increased leading to yield levels getting back to average and a harvest schedule also getting back to “normal” with Riesling coming off at the end of March and into April whilst the reds were picked in May.
2017 Eden Valley Riesling will be a stand-out and the reds aromatic and elegant as usual, but not as big.
