A very fresh, piercing nose of sliced lemon with plenty of sweet perfume, too. The palate is similarly intense and vibrant with white stone-fruit and lemon flavors, delivered in an impressively intense and balanced mode. Drink or hold.

This Pewsey Vale 2021 Single Vineyard Estate Riesling is quintessential Eden Valley Riesling—it is packed to the hilt with dry minerals, crushed rocks, white tea and citrus pith, all of it threaded together with saline acidity. It's a masterstroke every year—a reliable, value-for-money wine that speaks of variety just as much as it speaks of place. Awesome. And an epic vintage here, too.
