St Hugo Eden Valley Riesling, Eden Valley

St Hugo Eden Valley Riesling, Eden Valley

Eden Valley Riesling with lift, line and that floating, weightless feel. 11.5%, and built for the table. Pale straw with a green glint. Lemon, lime and grapefruit, then white flower, makrut lime, wet stone and a dusting of talc.

Light and exact. Crisp citrus runs through a mineral mid-palate, pith adding grip, acid keeping it taut. The finish just keeps going. Intensely flavoured fruit from these hills I grew up in. I can picture the berries.

Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★ Pure lemon and lime with an ethereal finish.
