Everyone loves something different, and this Riesling provides that. Its made like a Garage red, whole bunch pressing, use of wild yeasts, this is not playing it safe, but what a great result for Eden Valley Riesling! This is a delicious wine, but individual. It is full flavoured and choc full of Riesling aromas, mingling limes and citrus with floral aspects and fruit blossom, orange blossom in fact. (Sorry, sounds a bit over the top, but thatÂ’s what its like!), with almost sweet fruit, even though itÂ’s a dry wine. ThereÂ’s a lovely crisp finish, but its not the bone dry steely style of some Clare Rieslings, especially Polish Hill Rieslings. Lovely wine to drink now, but not, I suspect, one for the cellar.

If you like Rieslings with style and loads of flavour to enjoy while young and fresh, this is for you. If you prefer the bone dry steely style, go for the 2003 Kilikanoons, especially the Blackets Vineyard.

Not a Gary W wine, if heÂ’s still posting here?

Caveat

These notes are my retailer notes I use for selling the wine.

Bear that in mind when reading them.

That said, I don't write up bad wines, boring wines, or wines I don't like, but I am, after all, a retailer. However, my notes are honest, but stylistically they are not analytical.

If others taste the same wines, please post your views, even if different to mine, that's what a forum is all about.
