#4 of 50 2019 RIESLINGS FROM EDEN VALLEY: The Real Review

The Cirrus Riesling is made from the very best Single Vineyard wine of High Eden and made in only exemplary years. The High Eden sub-region of Eden Valley is a small and unique region designated by its high altitude, however, it is also defined by the schist soils and rocky outcrops, vast exposure and undulating hillside aspects, enhancing its suitability for growing Riesling. The skies over High Eden are typified by ‘Cirrus’ cloud formations for most of the growing and harvest seasons, making for a picturesque backdrop to the vineyards and a perfect name for this wine. The Cirrus Riesling is made from the very best Single Vineyard wine of High Eden and made in only exemplary years.

Pale green colour, vibrant white currents, grapefruit and fresh lemon juice aromas. The palate is refined, with great intensity and freshness, finishing with a flicker of mineral texture. Released after 12 months of bottle maturation, this wine will mature for many years to come.

12%Abv "Exquisite, detailed and precise, the wine offers delicately lifted aromas of lime sorbet, crunchy apple and wet limestone on the nose, leading to a refined palate delivering exceptional concentration and flow. Perfectly proportioned and impeccably harmonious. At its best: 2025 to 2040."

"Pale lemon colour throughout the glass. Lemon balm, talcum and seashell aromatics. Lime cordial and sherbet. Chalky in texture, a good lick of crunchy phenolics balances the sweetness of primary fruit whilst acid is the powerhouse that drives it along. Classic Eden."
