Pewsey Vale Riesling The Contours Museum Reserve 2008

The gorgeous, evolving nose on the 2008 The Contours Riesling is replete with notes of beeswax, honeyed toast and lemon curd over hints of chalk dust, shaved almonds and fresh hay. Dry and light-bodied, it has a good backbone of acid to support the intense, evolving citrus fruit and mineral flavors right through the finish with great persistence and harmony. Drink it now to 2022

Very good quality Australian Riesling with extremely intense nose of good complexity, showing the best varietal characters for the grape, the wine truly demonstrate why the old vines provide the concentration that is unbelievable and even though the finish was not particularly lengthy, the wine overall shows good balance with refreshing acidity and elegance, which is ready to drink now but can further develop for another 5-7 years
