Description
Single Vineyard
This exemplary 2012 vintage, one of the best in a decade, showcases the remarkable aging potential of Eden Valley Riesling. A cooler growing season, with minimal rain and no extreme heat yielded a wine of exceptional balance and finesse. The nose offers vibrant citrus aromas of lime and mandarin, with subtle floral notes characteristic of Traminer. This refined blend epitomises the best of Evandale Estate winemaking from an outstanding vintage.
- Size: 750ml
- Alchohol: 12.5% ABV
The wine does not have the staunch acid structure of other modern Eden Valley Rieslings, but is a more immediately approachable drink with a certain rustic venerability about it. Rather than being austere and lemony, it’s peachy, a little like an uncommonly good Chardonnay without oak. But the Riesling’s limey nature gives it difference, offering a smooth, comforting palate with just the right tweak of acidity.
