The 2019 Pewsey Vale Vineyard 1961 Block Riesling IBA is a flagship Eden Valley Riesling sourced from the estate’s oldest vines, showcasing exceptional purity, minerality and age-worthy structure. The nose is refined and aromatic, offering notes of lemon myrtle, lime and blossom, layered with distinctive crushed quartz and flinty mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with vibrant acidity and a taut, linear profile. Bright citrus and green fruit flavours are driven by a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, precise and focused finish. The style is pristine and tightly structured, combining elegance, tension and remarkable longevity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a serious, collectible Riesling and a benchmark for mineral-driven Australian whites. It’s precise, refined and built for long-term cellaring, but already impressive in its youthful form. Drink now or cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with sashimi, shellfish or Asian cuisine.
