Cooper Burns Emmy Lou Eden Valley Riesling 2023

From a single vineyard in the Eden Valley, this Riesling actually saw partial fermentation in older oak before ageing on yeast lees. Not typical for Aussie Riesling, but these are techniques which can increase complexity and add to the textural aspects of the wine. An apple straw hue to this Riesling, it is youthful, almost raw at this very early stage but exhibiting much promise of pleasure for the years to come. There are lemon notes and florals on the nose with a talc and minerally backing. It is quite intense with a soft fade on a palate that sees grapefruit hints emerge and there is crunchy acidity running the length. A six to eight year proposition.
