Radford Riesling 2009

This winery makes the best Eden Valley riesling to have ever passed my lips. Incredible stuff!

Winemaker Ben Radford says: "2009 was a stellar vintage for Riesling! Classic Eden Valley lime and lemon flavours with a touch of lemon blossom and crisp granny smith apple. Great natural acidity and fine powdery talc add further interest. We keep our Riesling on light lees for about 9 months which adds texture and palate weight to the wine. A tiny portion of this blend was barrel fermented in really old French oak (which doesn’t impart any oak flavor due to the age of the barrels) to further add weight and interest to the palate." 94 points in James Halliday's 2011 Wine Companion.


Will easily cellar for 10+ years. RRP $28
