The Powell & Son Eden Valley Riesling emanates from a single site in the high Flaxman’s Valley, 460 metres above sea level. The five acre vineyard showcases dry grown, rod and spur pruned Riesling vines now over eighty years old. Grapes are hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, cold settled and fermented dry prior to cold stabilisation and bottling. This approach ensures a clear expression of the great vineyard from which the wine originates.

91pts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
There are 300 cases of the 2017 Riesling, sourced from 90-year-old dry-grown vines. Really vibrant and fresh, it boasts aromas of lime and wet stone, finishing dry, clean and crisp. It will round out a bit with age, but it’s so enjoyable now, I’d opt for drinking it young.

94pts James Suckling– 2018 vintage

Extremely intense, this white comprises a vivid mix of lemon curd, lanolin, fresh lime juice and beeswax notes on a sleek and juicy frame. Savory details of saline and crushed rock line the finish. Drink now.
