DESCRIPTION
In a nutshell:
A crisp and minerally Riesling from South Australia's beautiful Eden Valley.
The lowdown:
Aromas of lime leaf, citrus zest, and a steely minerality lead onto a dry and reasonably weighty palate with touches of earthiness. All in all, quite a complex and serious wine made by rising winemaking star Helen McCarthy from grapes grown in vineyards that are 50 years old. The 2018 vintage of this wine has been regarded as an 'exceptional riesling' by wine critic Ned Goodwin MW who gave it 96/100 points in The James Halliday Wine Companion.
When to drink:
The exotic tangy hints make it a good match to things like salmon and trout and it's a brilliant match with oysters as well.

PRODUCER
Mountadam Vineyard
Founded by the late David Wynn in 1972 Mountadam Vineyards, at 550 metres above sea level, occupy one of the highest parts of the already high elevation Eden Valley. Wynn considered the area an ideal location for the production of high quality wine. In 2000 the business was sold to the the conglomerate LMVH, but in 2006 was acquired by the current owners David and Jenni Brown who have since added to the estate through the purchase in 2015 on the High Eden Vineyard also orginally established by the Wynn family. Their chardonnays are probably their most famous wines but their other cool climate varietals such as riesling and pinot noir are certainyl held in high regard.
