MountadamEden Valley Riesling 2021
About this product
In selecting the land for the Mountadam vineyard, Wynn was the first to recognise the potential of a cool, elevated site to produce wines of great elegance and structure, and chose an area high above the Eden Valley, which he named High Eden. At 570 metres above sea level, Mountadam is still to this day one of Australia's most elevated vineyards. As of 2005, the vineyard has been owned by South Australian businessman David Brown, who has made significant investment in vineyard improvement and expansion.

Riesling, planted in '68 and '74, from vines that were once the source of the Leo Buring Leonay, on the western Mountadam High Eden vineyard at 550m elevation. Characters of freshly squeezed lime juice, Christmas lily, Bickford's lime cordial and grapefruit with wafts of crushed quartz, green apple and a wisp of cut fennel. Stony, pure and true, with a lovely porcelain acid drive and focussed limey exit.

An elegant impression with fine, stony minerals, apples, lemons and grapefruit. The palate has a very sleek and freshly contained feel with succulent, juicy lemon and white-peach flavors. Tight finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
