Pewsey Vale, Riesling 2020
South Australia, Australia, Dry White, Screwcap, 12.5% abv(2022) I see I first recommended this wine way back in 1999, talking then about the 1997 vintage. Here we are 23 years on and the 2020 rendition is just as lovely. It comes from the high country of Eden Valley, with vineyards up to 400 metres altitude, and a from vineyard dedicated to Riesling. The nose streaks with fresh juicy lime and a delicate blossom undertone, immediately full of finesse but with the promise of fruit aplenty. That promise is kept on the palate, the basiclly dry wine flooding the mid-palate with a fat limey fruit and teasing peachiness, before the taut acidity sparkles into the finish.
