Pewsey Vale, Eden Valley (Australia) Riesling 2017

Mar 26, 2019

By Michael Franz

 I love this wine every year, and I buy it almost every year, and the happy fact of the matter is that I really don’t need more wine…or at least not than comes my way without buying any.  I’m not noting that to gloat, but rather to underline just how good this is for less than $20.  It shows fresh citrus aromas and light floral notes, followed by flavors that recall barely ripe peaches with a nice squeeze of lime and a little hint of flinty minerality in the finish.  The track record suggests convincingly that it will get even more complex aromatically for another two or three years without losing any of its refreshment value, though you’ll have difficulty not drinking it up well before then.
