2007 Peter Lehmann Eden Valley Riesling

The new release white wines from one of Australia’s most difficult vintages in memory are producing some very pleasing results. Bad news for producers as volumes are down approximately 29% from the previous vintage, however, good news so far for the consumer. Firstly, prices are generally stable and are not going through the roof as predicted by some wine scribes and more importantly, the quality factor is there. Smaller yields and less irrigation mean greater flavour concentration.

Bright pale straw colour with green tinge. Wonderful top notes of lime, followed by orange blossom and ripe mandarin end notes. The palate is filled with the flavours of ripe mandarin and lime, over a background of orange infusions. Perfect balance, crisp acid finish. Aftertaste of ripe mandarin and lime.
Cellar 3-4 years (2010-2011)
