Pale straw with green hues. Intense aromas of white flowers, fresh limes and a hint of fine dried herbs. A long, rich palate reminiscent of limes and fresh rosemary. The wine finishes with soft natural acidity which balances the flavour and minerality that is delicious now or will reward medium to long-term cellaring.
A dry start to the growing season meant that vines grew quickly and early. some rain in late spring and early autumn was appreciated by the vines which set average crops. Summer continued to be dry and balmy, ripening the grapes quickly. Cool nights retained aromatics and natural acidity in the grapes, giving perfect balance and delicious eden valley riesling flavours from the 2024 vintage.

“Breathtakingly pure and energetic with a linear drive of focused lime fruit and a fine bead of sherbet zest acidity. Very long, concentrated and juicy.”

"Let's be honest with one another... If I'm down to my last thirty bucks and a bit thirsty, I'm running at Riesling. The quality and value you get is immense. This Pewsey Vale is one I'd easily chase down. Always a reliable performer, this 2024 is no different. More lemons than limes, some grapefruit is not far from the action either. A little quartz like interest adds to the minerally drive with fine yellow plums and green apple. Orange blossom builds pretty aromatic momentum with time in the glass but I'm just here for its supreme refreshment. Yes! Drink now."

"I've mentioned before that when I lived in the Eden Valley we referred to this wine as 'Eden Valley San Pellegrino', such was its constant presence in the fridge for rehydration purposes. It's just a consistently cracking drink, with classic regional characters of Bickford's lime cordial, green apple, Christmas lily, crushed stone and white flowers. Crisp, dry, sleek in its travel and great drinking as always."
90 Point Rated - Angus Hughson Wine Pilot
"The delicately framed 2024 Riesling Estate offers a burst of lime zest and wet stones with reserved intensity. Chalky textured and vibrant with a strong kick of acidity and layers of sherbet and stony complexity, this focused proposition is already drinking well. Still, it will improve in bottle for at least the next five years."
