Region: Eden Valley
Country: Austrailia
Year: 2022
Price: $18.95
Winery Review: "The fruit for this 2022 No. 44 is from a selection of growers in Eden Valley: Springton, Flaxman Valley and Eden Valley. This is soft and talc-y, close to plump but not quite there. It carries the line and form of Eden Valley (that is to say, crushed rock austerity, lime/lemon zest and loads of spring flowers), but it has additional inflections of lavender, Golden Delicious apples and star anise. Lovely. 93" - Wine Advocate
Wine Folly: pg 158 "Riesling" - I noticed both the apple and citrus that the book talks about on this one. It mentions "pertrol-like" aromas on the rieslings from southern Australia (it even mentions Eden Valley) but I could not detect these.
Personal Review: This was my favorite wine from the tasting this week. I really enjoyed the appley citrusy sort of flavor. It had a lot of white grape juice on the nose. Smelled and tasted like spring. It was very light floral and fruity, and I would love to guzzle down a whole bottle.
I did not have any food with this wine.
