INTERNATIONAL RIESLING DAY SPECIAL

Independent Review Peter Nelson, The Wine Libertine 

Winemaker Dan Eggleton, pays homage to the classical regional wine style of (high) Eden Valley Riesling. Not an in-your-face expression, but a quieter, subtler, more age-worthy, restrained expression. At an old school 11% alc, this pristine Riesling implores you to dig deeper, revealing much complexity as it warms in the glass - lemon & lime, honeysuckle and a slatey-minerality. One of Dan’s mentors, legendary Riesling maker - the late, great John Vickery would almost certainly approve. Delicious now, with some plump Pacific oysters or steamed scallops with ginger & shallot, this Riesling will gain flesh over the next decade becoming more unctuous. 94+/100 Peter Nixon, The Wine Libertine
