Very smart for the Hill-Smiths to have this 10 Year Museum release of this vital label. Winemaker is Yalumba’s Chief Louisa Rose.

Pewsey Vale, The Contours, 10 Year Museum Release, Riesling, Eden Valley, 2013

Only just medium lemon/straw with light gold highlights. Developing complex nose with candlewax, brioche, handfuls of quartz rocks, lime juice, pressed white flowers, straw matting, near-pistachio nuttiness and a little lemon tart. Powerful and youthful, like a pent up howl still only just being released to the firmament. Incredibly dry and long with persistence, excellent balance and bracing acidity. Incredible value.
