Vickery Eden Valley Woodcarver’s Vineyard Riesling 2021

Whether 2021 is the finest vintage of the last decade in the region is something that will inevitably be the subject of late night debates but wherever one falls, it will be there or thereabouts. The vineyard sits some 630 metres above sea level. The process of making the wine follows the methods developed by the legendary John Vickery and as a result, we have a Riesling with a deep lemon hue. The nose offers hints of stone fruits, limes and grapefruits, florals and a chalky support. This is fresh and vibrant and, as we move to the palate, there is a note of freshly baked lemon cheesecake. An attractive style, finely balanced and with excellent length, destined to age for at least twelve to fifteen years.
