"The sweep of gold medals on the label are a pretty good indication of the quality within. Pale straw with a green flash and inviting aromas of Bickford's lime cordial, Key lime pie, Christmas lily and clover blossom, almond paste, pressed meadow flowers, ozone, crushed stone and appealing light toasty tones. Savoury, precise and long with a shimmering minerality, finely poised limey flavours and a finish that sails on for a good time. You can file this under 'stone cold classic'." 96+pts Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
Sourced solely from Ben Zander’s “Wroxton” Vineyard, situated at 500m asl from 20-30 year old vines. This vineyard has all the hallmarks of a classic Eden Valley Riesling site – high altitude, shaly, schisty soil and adequate canopy ensuring the fruit remains in optimum condition throughout ripening. The grapes were picked early and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following a two week fermentation period, the wine was clarified and bottled immediately before being cellared at the winery for five years prior to release. Drink now or cellar until 2038.
Early picking has produced a fresh, lively Riesling with a delicate green tinge and hints of freshly picked limes, preserved lemons with just a touch of toast in the background. Fine, linear, alive on the palate with breadth of citrus oil, tang and quickening acidity, minerals and poise. This legendary wine will cellar for many years to come.
Enjoy with Andrew Wigan’s all time favourite – pan fried, freshly caught King George Whiting matched with crunchy home-cut potato chips, a match made in heaven! Don’t forget the lemon!
