Pewsey Vale The Contours Riesling
Wine Description
Pewsey Vale The Contours is characterised by a special site, sensitive vine growing and astute winemaking. The Contours Riesling is produced from old vines farmed on the coolest slope within this ruggedly beautiful single vineyard. Bottle ageing for five years before release transforms this Riesling into a complex wine. More richness and complexity will accumulate over future decades.

Wine Production
The Pewsey Vale Contours is managed with Organic and Biodynamic farming principals. In keeping with the nature of BD and natural, less interventionist practices the wines were fermented with the natural or ‘wild’ yeast from the vineyard.
About the Vineyard
The 2011 vintage will long be remembered for its cool temperatures throughout the ripening and growing months. This has resulted in the white wines from Eden Valley being delicate and flavourful, with generous and balanced natural acidity. Riesling from Pewsey Vale Vineyard particularly loved the season and the resulting wines are classic examples.
