2021 Riesling 1961 Block, Pewsey Vale

2021 Riesling 1961 Block, Pewsey Vale

Ref: PEWS210
White  |  Still  |  12.5% ABV

My affection for this estate relates not simply to the fact that we live near Pewsey Vale in Wiltshire, I assure you! It is, first-and-foremost, down to the wine they make. In the cooler-climate Eden Valley in South Australia, they exploit vineyards in which the Riesling grape was first planted 175 years ago.

We’re above the Barossa Valley here at 500 metres above sea level i.e. the perfect spot for the production of precise and fresh white wines. Soils are thin and rocky, meaning that the vines are less vigorous and that the finished wines offer mineral precision.

Tasting Notes

“There’s lovely purity and aromatic energy to this old vine 2021 Riesling 1961Block, which displays pear, green apple and white flower aromas, a wild ferment just adding a slight savory touch. Compact and focused, it boasts layers of minerality with subtle jasmine tea, lavender and citrus pith. A gentle grip gives heart and soul before fostering a long, more savory finish. Delightful and will get better.” Angus Hughson on vinous.com

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
