Decanter – Everything great about Eden Valley Riesling is captured here – a magical, effortless swirl of fresh citrus enveloped by the sharp mineral lick of wet granite and amplified by a burst of bright acidity. The mid-palate shows luscious lime syrup rolling along on a gentle acid tide, and exceptionally long flavours extend all the way to a sustained final note. It’s gorgeous in its youth but with all the right attributes to flourish for decades in the cellar. Outstanding.

Description
Description
"Very pale lemon tint in the glass. White flowers, dried lemon peel and talcum aromatics. Tightly wound and incredibly focused on the tongue with lime and lemon, dried flowers and a saline minerality all bound with great tension of driving acidity. It feels bone dry and whilst very tight in its youth, there's such latent power here it will cellar for many years ahead."
The 2023 No.12 is intensely perfumed with aromas of Kaffir lime, guava, passionflower and rosewater with the classical Eden Valley mineral accent of wet-slate. The palate is assuredly structured and perfectly balanced with heady flavours of zesty Tahitian lime, piquant lemongrass and the sweet-floral pungency of fresh quince, grounded with a lick of stony, flint-like minerality.
The crisp natural acidity imparts length and vibrancy, bringing laser-sharp focus to the driving, persistent finish. A standout of the 2023 vintage with both immediate allure and enviable aging potential.
