Light to mid-yellow colour, bright and clear. The bouquet is wonderfully aromatic and fresh for its age, lightly-toasty and loaded with lemon and lime fragrances, the palate intense and mellowing nicely, with properly dry balance and cleansing aftertaste. It's ageing gracefully and holding its youth well. A superb semi-mature, traditional Aussie riesling.27 MAR 2021 Drink 2021–2027

Ranked #1 of 45 2015 Riesling from Eden Valley
Striking, fresh mineral aromas, lemon peel and lemon curd with a lightly toasty edge, too. The palate is so concentrated, with powerful lemon and stony-mineral flavors. Long, dry and really pure. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.

Pale straw-gold; heady aromas revealing the added layers of age and it is all about complexity. Lime marmalade, baked ricotta topped with lemon zest and toasty, too. It also has a line of acidity keeping this buoyant, tingling with freshness.

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.
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.
