Burge Family Winemakers Eden Valley Riesling 2024
An ideal growing season resulted in beautiful fruit from the higher altitude of Eden Valley above the Barossa. This Riesling exudes all that is good in the variety. It has a fine citrus note on the nose with lime dominance and a slightly saline character adding further complexity. On the palate, light lemon, chalk dust, and a fine spiciness bring tingle and life. The precise acidity provides the thread that carries through to a very long finish. This is a super example of a classy Riesling in a very good year. While it is drinking well now, further cellaring will reveal what Eden Valley Rieslings are all about with a little age.

Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling 2024
I've mentioned before that when I lived in the Eden Valley we referred to this wine as 'Eden Valley San Pellegrino', such was its constant presence in the fridge for rehydration purposes. It's just a consistently cracking drink, with classic regional characters of Bickford's lime cordial, green apple, Christmas lily, crushed stone and white flowers. Crisp, dry, sleek in its travel and great drinking as always. Drink to: 2036; Price: $27.00; Date Tasted: October 2024; Alcohol: 11.5%; Rating: 93 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion

Crabtree Watervale Riesling 2024
This really is a very good example of Clare Valley Riesling. Aromas of lemon and lime burst from the glass immediately with just a faint hint of orange zest. The palate is exquisitely presented with a refreshing vibrancy and purity. There’s a degree of palate tension holding it together and focusing to a very long finish. Yes, you can drink this now, but it has plenty there for later enjoyment. Drink: 2024 - 2036; Price: $32.00; Rating: 94 Points; Ray Jordan

Schild Estate Clare Valley Riesling 2023
Highly scented exotic aromas of lime and lemon with high end florals elevating even further. The palate is fine and precise with beautiful minerally acidity. It has a crunchy and lively feel through to a very long finish. An excellent illustration of Polish Hill in the Clare Valley. Drink: 2024 - 2034; Price: $26.00; Rating: 93 Points; Ray Jordan
