Sorby Adams Jellicoe Eden Valley Riesling 2023

Vines of around three decades, planted nearly 500 metres above sea level, provide the fruit for this rather special Eden Valley Riesling. Like most of the new range, the name apparently pays tribute to a distant relative who was a mathematician involved with predicting the location of Neptune (or possibly a British Admiral?). Others are named after the rings of Neptune. I guess that is something to Klingon to (sorry, someone had to say it). This is brilliant value. A gleaming pale lemon/green hue, the nose is utterly alluring. Dripping with limes and lemons and various citrus fruits, there is also a touch of florals with a hint of crisp pear. Seamless and with excellent length, there is a fine line of acidity, right through to the lingering finish. Cracking Riesling which will drink beautifully for at least the next ten to fifteen years.
