Pewsey Vale 'Prima' Riesling 2007
Eden Valley, South Australia. 9.5% alcohol. Vino-lok (glass stopper). Approx $A22.
Beautifully presented, the customary Pewsey Vale label looks brighter, larger and fresher than ever. With 22g per litre of residual sugar, 9.5% alcohol and 7.7g per litre of acidity, Halliday is right, in calling this a Mosel style riesling.
Smells of Eden, with blossom and lime, my mouth is powerless and reflexively starts to water. Succulent and intense, sweet but laced with sherbet like brightness and linear acidity. Lithe and juicy to the end this is a union of contradictions - sweet and sour, concentration of flavour and lightness of touch.
Very good - excellent.

Thanks for the note, Edward. I'll grab one if I can find one and give it a burl.
David,
Would be interested in your learned opinion. I thought it was terrific. If only it was more widely available. . .
