Pewsey Vale The Contour Riesling Eden Valley GI

Eden Valley GI, Australia

From Pewsey Vale's high-altitude (550m) Eden Valley estate — one of Australia's oldest Riesling plantings (1847). The Contour is the prestige single-vineyard selection: pale straw with aromas of lime juice, orange blossom, and crushed slate that define cool-climate Eden Valley Riesling at its finest. The palate achieves the balance of lime intensity and natural acidity that allows these wines to age magnificently — becoming complex petrol-mineral expressions over 20+ years.

Pairing intelligence

• fish course: Australia's finest flatfish with its finest Riesling: the wine's lime intensity and mineral freshness are perfectly calibrated for the delicate white flesh of this prized Southern Ocean species
• starter: Eden Valley Riesling's lime acidity and floral character bridge the lime-chilli freshness of Thai salad preparations; the off-dry character balances the chilli heat
