Winery: St Hallett
Region: Eden Valley
Variety: Riesling
Your Wine Guy says:
We have always enjoyed drinking high-quality Riesling, for its lovely floral and citrus characters on the nose and beautiful long dry finish with mouth-watering acidity. St Hallett has many rightly deserved accolades for their Riesling and have given us a fine example for this vintage; great for drinking now and perfect for summer, this wine could age for many years to come (if you can stay away from it).

"A regular star among the crystalline Eden Valley Riesling brigade…Super fresh lime and quartz aromas, intense and striking. The palate cuts clean lines of lime juice flavour, pinned into place with zesty acidity sparkling quartzy minerals twinkling away long through the finish."

The winemaker says:
Colour: Pale straw yellow with tinges of green.
Nose: This wine continues to impress with its consistent delivery of the delicate bouquet of lemon blossoms and fresh limes.
Palate: The palate is fine, and at this early stage is bordering on austere; infused with citrus flavours, culminating with a lovely zesty acidity. – St Hallett Wines
