The mid-palate is almost plump with flavour but the finish shoots out long and impressive. This has arrived at a good place; it's a good reason for the Museum Release program. Volleys of lime, spice and toast-like flavour; all with powerful serves.

Pewsey Vale The Contours is characterised by a special site, sensitive vine growing and astute winemaking.
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. More richness and complexity will accumulate over future decades.
The wine is pale straw in colour with green hues. There are intense classic lemon fruit aromas, with a hint of white flowers. Bottle aged characters of toast, clove oil and lemon grass have started to emerge.
The palate shows great length and depth with concentrated power, pristine fresh lime juice overlaid with toasted brioche, sage oil and lemongrass.
The wine finishes with fresh acidity, balancing the flavour intensity. This wine will gracefully continue to age for many years for those who appreciate bottle aged Riesling.
Try with Duck breast with five spice glaze or fresh gnocchi with olive oil and shaved truffles.
