2011 Dandelion Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling

Sourced from a 98 year old vineyard in the Eden Valley. No shenanigans from Elena Brooks when it comes to the winemaking either. Go long on this, it’s not giving away much just yet.

Chalk, slate, lime and lemon. Stern stuff. Transports me back to a primary school classroom where a teacher rejected a student’s apple. She might have accepted the odd flower or two though. This wine is straighter than a line. No deviation from its purpose on entry. Insistent hammering home of its message. You will learn about the essence of Eden Valley Riesling. Excellent
