Hewitson Gun Metal Riesling 2021

Most are saying this as good a vintage as they can remember in Eden Valley. Who am I to doubt it. If this wine is any indication, then they are absolutely right. Made only from pure free run juice. Crunchy spicy lightly bath salts with a zingy lemon zip on the finish. Nice fine minerally thread to a long finish.
