Pewsey Vale The Contours Riesling 2018 is a single-vineyard Eden Valley Riesling sourced from the coolest slopes of the estate where vines were planted in 1961 on sandy loam over yellow clay. This bottling is defined by a five-year bottle-ageing period before release and the 2018 vintage offered a steady ripening period with cool nights that preserved a high natural acidity and a low pH. The result is a wine of profound structural focus showing primary lime and floral notes that have begun to integrate with secondary toast and lemongrass aromatics.
