Pewsey Vale The Contours Riesling 2015

The miraculous pilgrimage of Riesling can be found here. It’s hard to taste young Riesling and imagine just how it can evolve, change, adapt and become this toasty, oily, wildly provocative drink. The team at Pewsey Vale know this and Louisa Rose thrives on its evolution. Here you find yuzu oil, greengage plums and ginger skin. Buttered toast, dried pineapple and rye seed. It’s dry but full to the brim of sandy texture and then a whip of bright acidity to clean everything up. Just mesmerising, and well worth buying more than you anticipate. Serve with artichokes in lemon butter and rejoice.
