The Contours Riesling 2018 is a masterfully matured Eden Valley expression, sourced from old vines on the coolest slope of this dramatic single vineyard. With five years of bottle age prior to release, this iconic Riesling delivers the hallmark complexity, finesse, and cellaring potential that define its legacy.
Pale straw with a green hue, it opens with intense aromas of pure lemon zest and white florals. Bottle-aged characters of toast, clove oil, and lemongrass are now emerging, beautifully woven through the youthful citrus notes. The palate is layered and textural, showcasing pristine lime juice laced with sage oil, toasted brioche, and a whisper of lime marmalade. A soft but vibrant line of natural acidity lends drive and elegance to a long, concentrated finish.
Awarded 94 Points by David Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, and a Gold Medal Winner at the 2024 Winewise Championships, Royal Melbourne, and Royal Adelaide Wine Shows, this is a benchmark aged Riesling that will continue to evolve gracefully over decades.
94 Point Rated - David Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
“Another museum release riesling, this one a five-year-old from the sensational Contours Block of the Pewsey Vale vineyard in the High Eden Valley. Light straw in the glass with aromas of Bickfords’ lime cordial, Christmas lily, orange blossom, almond paste, wildflowers, drying grass and crushed quartz. Long and pure with some soft spice notes joining in on the palate and a focused finish that sails off slowly into the distance.”
