TASTING NOTES FOR Hentley Farm Riesling Eden Valley South Australia 2021

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright green flashes. Crystal clear and youthful, showing excellent vibrancy in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and precise, with classic Eden Valley lime juice, citrus blossom and lemon zest. Subtle hints of orange rind, talc and mineral notes add complexity and purity.

👅 Palate
Fresh and tightly structured, delivering intense citrus flavours of lime, lemon and grapefruit. The fruit is pure and focused, supported by a crisp acid line that drives the wine with precision and energy.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine, clean and mouth-watering. The acidity is bright and refreshing, carrying through to a long, mineral-driven finish with lingering citrus and subtle chalky notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic cool-climate Eden Valley Riesling—zesty, aromatic and beautifully linear. Drinking superbly now for its freshness, but will reward cellaring with added complexity over time.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Fresh oysters, prawns, sashimi, Thai salads or anything with citrus and spice. Also brilliant with goat’s cheese or light vegetarian dishes.

BBD Verdict
This is exactly what you want in a quality Riesling—clean, vibrant and seriously refreshing. A standout inclusion in a mixed dozen, offering both immediate drinking pleasure and cellar potential.

Cheers
