The Wine Front – "The 2020 was outstanding, and this may even be better again. 50-90 year old vines. Wooh-ah! White nectarine, flint, radish and spice, floral top notes. Pure acidity, layers of chalk dust texture, mealy, saline and juicy with pink grapefruit, lime and a super long spicy finish offering grip, kohlrabi and subtle quinine bite. Outstanding." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Hands down one of the best value Rieslings in the country.
RRP - $27.99
Two old Eden Valley Riesling vineyards combine here under the guidance of Domenic Torzi.
The Frost Dodger is quintessential Eden Valley Riesling - lithe, light but full of flavour. Torzi left the wine on lees for eight weeks prior to racking to build in more weight and texture but the end result is as pure and pristine as any Riesling you are likely to see.
It feels dart-like and über refreshing. A seriously good value wine given its potential for ageing up to a decade or more and its stellar drinking in its youth.
Gary Walsh rated it a whopping 96 points, making this surely one of the best value white wines made in Australia. A bargain!
Old Vine Eden Valley Riesling sourced from two frost pocketed vineyards dating back to 1930. Great to see timely rainfall in the Eden with falls being during critical times of the vines production. Excellent fruit set, canopy cover and a mild long dry summer has produced silver green streaked fruit of amazing flavours and natural holding acidity sees this 2021 Riesling release continue its stardom qualities to achieve another great cellaring offering.
