Weekday Wine: Australian Riesling (Pewsey Vale Eden Valley 2007, $14)
July 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment
We figured we’d follow up last week’s review of Australian Pinot Noir – a seemingly unusual red varietal for a region typically characterized by warm weather – by selecting for today’s Weekday Wine a bottling of an unusual white varietal from the same place: Riesling.
Much to our liking, the 2007 Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling was light, crisp (though mostly toward the back end of the mid-palate) and completely dry, with a nose of peach, slate mineral, and soft floral scents. Lime and mineral dominated on the finish.
At $14 and with a screwtop, no less, this wine, much like last week’s Pinot Noir, was yet another steal for the price.
Where to get it: We bought our bottle at K&L Wines in San Francisco. They ship. You can also find it using the Snooth search function under “Wine Locator” in the right hand column of this page, or by visiting wine-searcher.com or winezap.com.
