Pewsey Vale Vineyard Prima Riesling is an early harvest style of wine made from grapes picked three to four weeks before the rest of the vineyard. Semi-dry style. Vibrant with perfumed fruits and fine citrus flavours, balanced with chalky mineral acidity.
Very pale in colour with green hues; the aroma has hints of classic Pewsey Vale Riesling characters but is most redolent of white cherries, nectarines and lychees. The palate shows great intensity, length and finesse with vibrancy of perfumed guava and mandarin, overlaid with a touch of white cherry, sorbet and clove.
Chosen for their fine citrus flavours, the grapes were carefully harvested when their natural sugar levels were near 10 baumé. The final wine has been made in a semi-dry style, maintaining a balance between the fruit sweetness and the chalky mineral acidity. The naturally lower alcohol of the wine further heightens its refreshing character.
Try with a green papaya salad, Thai fish cakes and lime wedges or poached apples with lemongrass and ginger.
With an average altitude of nearly 500 metres, Pewsey Vale Vineyard sits 250 metres above the Barossa Valley floor. The resultant cooler temperatures encourage a longer ripening period that is essential for producing superior Riesling grapes. All plantings at Pewsey Vale Vineyard are propagated from the original 1847 vines.
