Pewsey Vale Prima 24GR Riesling
96 points by Halliday.<br>From Eden Valley icon Pewsey Vale, the 2024 Prima is a modern, off-dry Riesling inspired by Germany’s Kabinett style. Low in alcohol, high in freshness — think lime, nectarine and lychee with chalky minerality and a juicy, balanced finish. Perfect with spice or sunshine.
Crawford River Wines Riesling
With its fresh, intense lemon tonic, pear, apple, oyster shell aromas, superb lemon curd richness, persistence and minerality, Crawford River Riesling reflects the modern idiom of the Riesling style. The dry-grown vines, first planted in 1975 by John Thomson, are deeply anchored in gravelly friable basalt loams over clays and an ancient limestone seabed. Second generation winemaker Belinda Thomson, with her father John Thomson, continues the philosophy of minimal intervention and movement during vinification. The cold-settled juice is batch fermented around 12° - 15° C and left on lees for around six weeks before bottling in September.
