Vickery Eden Valley Riesling 2024

For me, it was impossible to split this and its Clare Valley sibling, both from 2024. Two superb Rieslings and both great buying. The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Mason and Schubert family vineyards. Winemaking follows the common thread laid down by the legendary Riesling maker, John Vickery (who was also one of the nicest people in the Aussie wine industry and is sorely missed). Pale lemon in colour, with green flecks, the nose is an intriguing mix of river stones, florals, grapefruit and wet slate with an added hint of beeswax. There is good intensity here, drive, balance and focus, along with citrusy acidity and length. Love it and it will drink beautifully for twelve to twenty years.
