Just the name “Eden Valley” conjures up images of untouched beauty, so it’s no surprise that such an incredible Riesling could emanate from there. Coming from a vintage where the fruit ripened much earlier than usual, there’s balance between the acid and ripe fruit characters, with the former in abundant supply. A delicate nose of fresh asparagus, grass and peach on opening soon develops into florals, citrus and apple, which then lead to an absolutely vibrant (read: highly acidic and mineral) palate with just a touch of residual sugar, which is needed to keep that acidity in check. At AU$45, this Riesling is an absolute steal and it will continue to impress for many years to come.
