Pewsey Vale, Eden Valley (South Australia) Riesling 2016

 The Eden Valley of South Australia, with its higher elevation and spare soils, has proven to be an exceptional site for producing fine Rieslings.  Pewsey Vale has long been a star producer from the High Eden and they continue their success with the exemplary 2016 bottling.  This is a lovely and complex dry Riesling.  The bouquet is forward and enticing with a striking floral component and an array of lime, tangerine, green and red apple fruit aromas.  It is clean, fresh and dry on the palate, with layers of fruit underlain by a rich texture and the intriguing floral and spice hints that linger at the finish.  Delicious now, Pewsey Vale Rieslings can age beautifully for a decade or more when properly cellared.
