HEAD Riesling 2023 (12x 750mL) Eden Valley

Description:

We have been incredibly lucky with Rieslings from Eden Valley over the last 4 vintages. The weather has been mildand the lack of any severe heat events helps with retention of acidity and long, slow ripening for complexity. 2023 was the last of 3 ‘La Nina’ years in a row for Australia.

During the 2023 vintage, to counter the high acids I allowed the Riesling a slow but full malo-lactic fermentation on lees in neutral oak & stainless steel with no sulphuruntil bottling. This is not a traditional technique for Eden Valley Riesling but instead gives a balance and softness to the wine without requiring loads of sugar to offset the acid. It also allows lower use of preservative. Win/Win.

The wine shows powerful fruit and texture with citrus, lemon and grapefruit together with a textural, minerally and dry finish. Drink with roast chicken or fish with white sauce.

Expert Reviews

“A bouquet of white flowers and little white field flowers leap from the glass seeking an embrace. Granny Smith apples, lemon juice with a hint of pear flesh build interest and up the pleasure factor. Wonderfully textural, those fine chalk and powdery feels are brushed on ever so finely. Bone dry and dangerously moreish, large pours are a must.”

-Steve Leszczynski (Q Wine)
