2013 Pewsey Vale The Contours Riesling 750ml

REVIEWS & AWARDS: 97 HALLIDAY

Critic tasting note: "Despite the age of this museum release of “Contours,” from Pewsey Vale's oldest, coolest slopes, it's just in its teenage years, with the potential of many more years of cellaring. Pale gold in hue, it's gained secondary notes like lighter fluid, lemon oil, lime leaf and wild herbal undertones, but there's also a fresh floral note still present. The palate is tightly wound and chalky-textured with crisp acidity and a pleasing bitter herbal finish. Drink now–2028 at least. Christina Pickard" - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast

Pale straw in colour with green hues. Intense classic lemon fruit aromas with a hint of white flowers. bottle aged characters of toast, clove oil and lemongrass have started to emerge and combine with the fresh citrus and white flowers of its youth. The palate has great length and depth with concentrated power, pristine fresh lime juice overlaid with toasted brioche, sage oil and lime marmalade. The wine finishes with soft, refreshing natural acidity. Released in 2022 after 6 years of bottle age, this wine will continue to age gracefully for many years.
