Rieslingfreak #44 Riesling Eden Valley – 2022 (750ml)

Description

91 points Vinous MediaPale in color, this bright and zesty 2002 Riesling No. 44 Eden Valley Growers from a rising start offers expressive lime juice and citrus pith aromas with touches of musky complexity. Dry, quite textural and embryonic, a firm acid bite provides impact before building through to a beautifully long, poised and spicy finish. Brilliant Value. – Angus Hughson March ’23

Winemaker’s Notes

Eden Valley Rieslings often showcase delicacy and refinement. Rieslingfreak No. 44 typically demonstrates this, with aromas of citrus, talcum powder and white blossoms, with flavors of lime and lemon, with a background of sweet spice. The wine drinks well young, but will reward with a little cellaring. Oysters on the half shell or grilled shrimp on the BBQ would be a heavenly pairing.
