Pewsey Vale Eden Valley “1961 Block” Riesling 2020

The 1961 block is a new interpretation of Riesling from this historic vineyard. From the oldest vines on Pewsey Vale Vineyard, the grapes are handpicked and the juice wild fermented and aged for a few months on lees before bottling and release. This wine is proof that a healthy, biodiverse vineyard needs little winemaking intervention as the grapes and yeast from the vineyard combine perfectly to make this wine.

This wine is pristine with aromas and flavours of lemon myrtle and tea tree blossom. With crushed quartz minerality, it is evocative, seamless and ageless. The wine shows great tautness and line as a young wine that will delight early drinkers as well as those who want to cellar it for 15+ years.

Enjoy with kingfish sashimi with lime jelly or vegetable spring rolls with Vietnamese herbs.
