James Suckling
Final blend unbottled and unfiltered, this has plenty of fragrant lime and stone fruit aromas on the nose. There's a supple, even and succulent palate; good flesh, spicy, even and balanced.
Range: 92-93 -
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Riesling opens with notes of chalk dust and wet pebbles over a core of lime juice, yuzu zest and lemongrass. Light-bodied and bone dry with a racy line of acidity cutting through the intense citrus and mineral flavors, it finishes with great freshness and length.

Wine Enthusiast
This wine's aromas of lime sherbet and flower shop greens is textbook Eden Valley Riesling. This is a tight, cellar worthy wine, floral and citrusy on nose and palate, with medium body and a persistent finish. Drink now–2025.

The Pewsey Vale Vineyard was established at Eden Valley in 1847 producing some of Australia’s first cool climate wines. The early Rieslings were exported to England where they won several awards in prestigious wine shows of the era.
Riesling is Pewsey Vale's single focus and the winemakers' undivided attention goes into making a Riesling that captures the purity of the single site vineyard in Eden Valley where nature is left undisturbed to do its thing.
Pewsey Vale Vineyard has also been formally recognized for its sustainable winegrowing credentials, being amongst the first wine labels in Australia to display the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia trust mark. Launched in July 2019, the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA) program provides the opportunity for winemakers to benchmark their performance and communicate their social, environmental, and economic credentials with consumers, who are driving the increase in demand for more sustainable wines.
Pewsey Vale is where a true alliance between nature and variety exists, the need for human intervention is minimal. Gentle guiding hands and an understanding of place are all that is needed to create consistent and delicious wines vintage after vintage.
