Pewsey Vale 1961 Block Riesling 2022

This slightly unusual take on Eden Valley Riesling is always worth seeking out. Wild yeast ferments and some lees ageing adds impressive details to the traditional Pewsey Vale package. Tightly wound, it offers up a focused core of saline, granitic aromas with an exotic citrus skin and pith lift. Textural and savoury in style, a refreshing burst of acidity underpins generous layers of flavour, before unwinding over a more supple finish. A wine that needs a little time to show its best.
