Pewsey Vale The Contours Riesling.

2012

ABV. 12.5%.

Pale straw in colour with green hues, the wine opens with intense classic lemon fruit aromas and hints of white flowers. Bottle aged characters of toast, clove oil and lemon grass have started to emerge. A palate of great length and depth with concentrated power, pristine fresh lime juice overlaid with toasted brioche, sage oil and lime marmalade.

The wine finishes with a fresh but soft natural acidity which balances the flavour intensity. This wine is released in 2018 after 5 years of bottle age, but will gracefully continue to age for many years for those who appreciate bottle aged Riesling.

Description

Pewsey Vale The Contours riesling

Pewsey Vale Contours is characterised by a special site, sensitive vine growing and astute wine making.

The Contours Riesling is produced from old vines farmed on the coolest slope within this ruggedly beautiful single vineyard. Bottle ageing for five years before release transforms this Riesling into a complex wine and more richness and complexity will accumulate over future decades.
