Andrew Wigan has had a hand in every Peter Lehmann wine since the first vintage in 1980. He revolutionised white winemaking with his passion for Riesling. This wine is named in his honour.
From the shallow rocky soils of the Eden Valley – one of the great Riesling sites of the world – the Wigan Riesling has become one of Australia’s most celebrated wines. It has been named ‘Best Riesling in the World’ in the International Wine and Spirit Competition six times in the past decade, and accumulated more than 80 trophies since its inaugural vintage as ‘Wigan’ in 2003 (previously ‘Reserve’ Riesling).
Colour is vibrant lemon with a green tinge. Wigan Riesling displays the classic Eden Valley lime juice characters, with hints of honeyed bottle age character already showing through. A mature wine with remarkable youth on the palate.
A lime edge to a shimmering yellow hue, segues to notes of lime curd, lemon drop, citrus marmalade and a waft of petrol indicating the encroachment of development, albeit, more like a youthful middle age, with plenty left in the tank. Bright, energetic and long of finish, the acidity is juicier and more nourishing than in past bottlings, echoing the trend of the region at large
