Powell and Son Riesling Eden Valley 2018

White flowers and stone fruits predominate the nose, accompanied by vintage-typical bath salt character. Hints of lavender and lime juice are found, underscored by a fresh wet stone minerality. The palate is rounded, carried through by a fine acid line. Flavors of juicy white apple and lime pith are followed through with grapefruity, zesty acid-derived flavors to carry through to the finish.

The Powell and Son Riesling Eden Valley emanates from a single site in the high Flaxman’s Valley, 480 metres above sea level. The five acre vineyard showcases dry grown, rod and spur pruned Riesling vines now over eighty years old. Grapes are hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, cold settled and fermented dry prior to cold stabilization and bottling. This honest approach ensures a clear expression of the great vineyard from which the wine originates.
