South Australia is well represented on prestigious international winelists for its icon Riesling wines, Valley Eden is at the very top of page. Formulated as part of the evolving Penfold white wine program, Bin 51 captures the very essence of the Eden Valley Riesling style. The region's high altitude and cool climate produces wines of great complexity and capacity for development. Bin 51 is bottled early to retain freshness, the definitive bone dry Riesling style with bright natural acidity, clear fruit aromas and wonderfully pristine, mouthfilling flavours.

$4099each $491DOZEN EACH DOZEN The development of Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling marks a new chapter in a long history of Penfolds trail blazing endeavours in white winemaking. Penfolds has established and fostered Eden Valley vineyards which are entirely specialized for the yielding of world class Riesling grapes, suitable for flagship wines with the capacity for long term, elegant ageing. A subregion of the Barossa, Eden Valley is approximately 450 metres above sea level. The Penfolds vineyards are located on particularly lean soil structures. The higher altitudes mean a cooler growing season, ideal for the aromatic varietals, Riesling in particular. Bin 51 spends three months at rest before being bottled early to retain varietal elegance.

Pale straw with lime green hues. Highly aromatic and perfumed, primary lavender florals and native lime, wafts of Chinese dragon fruit and lychee complex the offer, epsom bath salts add interest. Fresh and lively palate, tropical fruits abound, flavours of lemon curd and lime sorbet meet with instant approval. Texturally appealing phenolics enhance mouthfeel, wet stone acidity induces a crisp finish. Vibrant, clean and flavoursome, unadulterated Riesling with nothing to hide.

From an almost perfect Riesling vineyard, careful pruning, sorting and selection, ensures that only the healthiest grapes are included. One of Australia's perennially feted Riesling, from fruit picked off old vines on Petaluma's Hanlin Hill Vineyard, planted in 1968 to the most easterly slope and highest aspects in all of Valley Clare. Late picked for optimal flavour development, yet paradoxically elegant and dry, the ideal choice to accompany grilled whiting, cornish hen or the traditional Coquilles St Jacques.

$4199each $503DOZEN EACH DOZEN Established by Brian Croser in 1976, Petaluma are one of Australia's most eminent labels and artisanal crafters of flagship white wines. Hand picked grapes are transported to the Petaluma winery in Piccadilly Valley and processed immediately. Bunches are de-stemmed, the berries gently crushed, chilled to less than 5C and treated to a Willmes tank press. The free run juices are cold settled in tank and clarified without filtration. This bright, clear juice is then racked into fermenters and inoculated to a choice Petaluma yeast. A cool fermentation at 10C to 13C ensues over the next several weeks, at sugar dryness, the finished Hanlin Hill is chilled before a gentle filtration to bottle.

Light, pale straw in colour. Lovely bright floral aromas of lemon blossom and passionfruit are backed up on the palate by pristine, intense lemon/ limes, with some crunchy apple thrown in. Slatey minerality, a hallmark of the Hanlin Hill Vineyard for three decades, combined with high natural acidity to produce a wine that is very drinkable in its youth, while offering all the qualities of a great, long lived Clare Valley Riesling.

One of the new world's most distinguished Riesling, a sophisticated effort, floral and delicate and poised, Petaluma displays refreshing lemon and lime characters coupled with a wonderful balance which has been the hallmark of this elite vineyard since the inaugural 1979 vintage. At 1670 feet above sea level, Hanlin Hill is magnificent for its higher elevation and superior exposure to the cooling afternoon sea breezes. Another great edition in a long succession of superb Clare Valley Rieslings from the distinguished Vineyard at Hanlin Hill.

$12999each $1559DOZEN EACH DOZEN Hand picked Riesling is delivered to Petaluma for immediate processing.

Peter Lehmann has always been Riesling's most outspoken advocate, he has claimed best Riesling trophy at the prestigious London International on more occasions than any other, he declares Riesling to be his wine of choice if marooned on the proverbial desert island.

Wigan affords enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience the delights of a classic and mature Riesling wine. Eden Valley is home to Australia's greatest Riesling, first planted to the shallow, rocky soils of the higher Barossa ranges in the early 1850s. Time has revealed this place to be a natural home for Riesling, which many winemakers agree is the noblest white varietal. The mature Eden Valley vineyards produce wines with a unique sense of place. Each year Peter Lehmann classifies the very best, to hold back for extended ageing.

$3499each $419DOZEN EACH DOZEN Peter Lehmann is an international sensation at Riesling, having been declared Best Riesling in the World no fewer than five times at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London. Named for Andrew Wigan who has been the maker of every Riesling bottled under the Peter Lehmann label since the very beginning, Wigan is a testament to Andrew's success within Australia and the international show circuit. From low yielding Eden Valley Riesling vineyards, the grapes are picked early and chill fermented for a fortnight. Upon completion, Wigan is treated to clarification and bottled immediately, followed by five years ageing under the Peter Lehmann cellars.

The Pewsey Vale property was first planted to Riesling by Joseph Gilbert in 1847. The site was later purchased by well known grazier Geoff Angas Parsons, who in 1961 invited his friend Wyndham Hill Smith to jointly develop the historic vineyard. They believed the site could produce delicate Rieslings in the Germanic style. High in the Eden Valley's low fertility, grey and sandy loam soils, a prolonged ripening late into the cool autumn season develops recognizably consistent flavour profiles, today known as classic Pewsey Vale.

$3699each $443DOZEN EACH DOZEN Over a century and a half of wines have flowed from the superlative Pewsey Vale vineyard. From a clone planted in the Eden Valley during the 1800s, traceable to some of the original vine cuttings brought into Australia by James Busby. Any new plantings are propagated from the original vines. Pewsey Vale is not an easy vineyard to manage. Lean and hungry soils which limit the vigour of the vines, the high altitude and the vineyard's specific microclimate have necessitated the adoption of specialised viticultural management. The property itself is an idyll of gently undulating hills, fifty hectares of which are under vine, nestled close to Pewsey Vale Peak, just west of Eden Valley town centre.

Pale straw, green hues. Intense fruit aromas of talcum, crushed stone and lemon lime fruit with a hint of overlaying dried herb. The palate shows great length and depth with lime, a hint of white flowers and fresh rosemary, finishing with a fresh natural acidity that balances the intensity and minerality. Flavours evolve elegantly, toast, orange blossom and honey can be expected, while retaining the classic fresh citrus lift and palate weight of Pewsey Vale.
