Description

ABV 13.0%

I love Riesling with some bottle age.

Winemaker - Louisa Rose

A hint of toast overlies the still intense lime and citrus fruit. Citrus dominant, lime juice and marmalade finishing with a crushed stone minerality. The wine is only just showing the first signs of bottle age after 5 years, indicating that there is still a long future in front of it. Clean and dry with refreshing natural acidity

2005 Vintage

Good rains for the beginning of the 04/05 growing season augured well for
vintage. By mid January the skies had cleared, and no subsequent rain
combined with balmy temperatures for the remainder of the season meant that flavours ripened over an even and long period. The result is white wines from the 2005 Eden Valley vintage with excellent intensity flavour and structure.

Sealing a bottle under a screw cap removes the variability and taints associated with cork. A screw cap also ensures that the wine in the bottle will age under the best possible conditions. The perfect seal of the screw cap ensures that no air or oxygen can enter the bottle. In these reductive conditions the wine undergoes "pure bottle aging" where the fresh citrus flavours remain, and are overlaid with flavours of toast, lemon grass and eventually some honey and possibly marmalade. Since there is no oxygen getting in to the bottle, there is no oxidising or "drying out" of the wine. This means that the colour, while it will deepen into the gold spectrum, retains its freshness and green hues. The
flavours and palate do not "dry out", but stay fresh with any sweet fruit
characters that were initially in the wine remaining.


Pewsey Vale Vineyard was first planted to Riesling by Joseph Gilbert in 1847. The site was later purchased by well known grazier Geoff
Angas-Parsons whom in 1961 invited his friend Wyndham Hill Smith to jointly develop the historic vineyard site. They believed the site could
produce "delicate Rieslings in the Germanic style".

High in Eden Valley (nearly 500m above sea level) the quality of the vineyard is a reflection of this altitude and the low-fertility, grey, sandy loam soils which prolong ripening into the cool autumn season. This long ripening period develops unique, consistent flavour profiles, which we now describe as 'classic Pewsey Vale'.

Grapes for The Contours Riesling, our flagship Riesling with 5 years bottle age, are selected from the oldest vines, planted in contoured rows in 1962.
