2023 Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Dry Riesling

Vineyard Vintage Notes

Good winter and early spring rains in the Eden Valley filled the soils and set the vines up well for the 2014 vintage. A windy spring led to uneven set and then in November, with the vines at full-growth, the lower parts of the vineyard experienced an unseasonal frost further reducing the potential crop. Late spring and summer were dry and warm. On Valentine’s Day the season changed and up to 150 mm of rain fell in just over 24 hours. This and the following cool weather caused ripening to slow down and the rest of vintage progressed at an almost leisurely pace. No subsequent rain meant that disease pressure was minimal. A low cropping vintage produced wines with intense flavours and some of the best natural acids we have seen at Pewsey Vale Vineyard.
