Riesling

One of the world's great grape varieties and the acknowledged king of German vineyards, also important in Alsace, Riesling goes through a number of ripening phases making it incredibly varied. Picked early it can form a base wine for Methode Champenoise; a little later, it makes a wonderfully crisp, aromatic lemon-lime filled dry white. A little riper the grapes produce an excellent, slightly sweet 'Spatlese' wine, later again an 'Auslese', and so on. In Australia, crisp, minerally, citrus-led styles dominate, with regions like South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia producing the finest examples. Fish, shellfish and crustaceans are perfect partners.

Riesling sourced from a 1972-established vineyard in Flaxman Valley, 5km north of Eden Valley township. Pale straw in the glass and smelling crisp and pure with juicy limes, orange blossom, crushed quartz and light marzipan notes. Swift and true, it sets a brisk pace across the palate thanks to sizzling acidity and great clarity, finishing with and a blast of freshly squeezed limes and green apple. Drink by 2028.

The Eden is produced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Eden Valley region, established in1972. These old vines cling to the poorest soils on the Poonawatta property; the lean environment keeping the yields low, flavours concentrated and the fruit pure.

Boasting superb intensity and power, this is one for the Riesling purists.

Brilliant water like colour with greenish tinged edges. Powerful lemon and lime aromatics soar out of the glass with talc, orange rind and subtle steely mineral notes ensuing. Mouth watering lemon and lime flavours display terrific intensity and drive backed by crunchy acidity. Dry, crisp finish with a very long scrumptious aftertaste. Superb.

Fruit sourced from the Canberra District including estate-grown and the Hilltops region. Then, as is the Bryan Martin way, there’s some skin contact to bolster texture and fine phenolics before it all settles in vessels of concrete, ceramic and seasoned foudre. This is something else and delicious. Heady aromatics wafts of lemon blossom, ginger flower and spices, yet the palate steals the show. Textural, waxy, stony and complex with a silk-line of acidity all the way through. A cracking drink on its own or with food. Drink by 2033.

Sourced from Rieslingfreak growers in the Eden Valley, predominately the High Eden; John recalls there were lots of smaller bunches in the '24 season. Tight and high-toned, as all Eden Valley riesling should be, with Bickford's lime cordial and Tahitian limes at its base. Hints of orange blossom, crushed quartz, lemongrass and stone with a light, balanced sheen of phenolics and a febrile sense of urgency as it careens across the palate, finishing fine and long. Drink by 2038.

The level of finesse and refinement is incredible. The nose gives aromas of lemon pith, grapefruit rind, slate and fresh herbs. The palate is laser-focused with a underlying mineral tension, showing notes of mandarins, rosewater and chalk. Complete purity. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Flaxman Valley is the quarry for this expression. It's a savoury riesling, stony, dry and highlighted with gentle but omnipresent cashew savouriness and briny acidity. Complex, individual and distinct with a perfume of green apple, frangipani, sea spray and cashew. Flavours echo this character list, albeit the wine is a little loose-knit in the nicest sense and bolstered with that attractive briny, minerally acid profile. The finish shows a lick of that nuttiness and yeasty savouriness. It's an excellent offering. Drink in the vigour of youth. Drink by 2030.

Other Reviews….
This hits a new level in 2021, the finest release of this dry Eden Valley riesling to date. Aromas of sliced lemon and crushed stones with flickers of spice, too. The palate is finely detailed and has elegantly piercing lemon and ruby-grapefruit flavors that run so long and focused. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Don’t be fooled by John Hughes’ quirky business name. Eden Valley's dominant juicy lime fruit comes through at speed, backs off towards the back palate before surging on the finish and aftertaste, with white peach and grapefruit providing a high wire of acidity and length. Drink to 2037.

Riesling in Australia.

Riesling is thought to have been introduced to New South Wales in the 1830s by the Macarthur's (pioneers of the Australian wool industry). German settlers brought the variety to the Barossa Valley in South Australia in the 1850's where the grape flourished. It's since found many new homes, such as Mt. Barker in Western Australia, the Clare Valley in South Australia, as well as Central and Southern Victoria. A tightrope of fruit and racy acidity when young, age-worthy examples develop honey and toast characteristics, sometimes accompanied by a distinct 'kerosene' note. Generally suited to cooler climates, examples from Grosset, Petaluma, Wilson Polish Hill, Dukes, Western Australia and Best's Great Western, Victoria are all worth seeking out.
