A slight departure here as this is just a museum release, rather than a 10 year old as per last releases. Winemaker is long time wine legend Louisa Rose.

Pewsey Vale, The Contours, Museum Reserve, Riesling, Eden Valley, 2017

Pale lemon/green hue. Attractive cool stones, white flowers, lime flesh, honeyed almonds, ozone/fly spray and smoky ham hock maturity note. Hitting those teenage years where there’s a touch of development and a fleshiness, yet still a pristine quality to the limey fruit with filagree, juicy acidity through the tail. At 8 years of age, it’s right in the spot, with all the ageing done for you.
