One of Australia's most talented and awarded winemakers, Tim Smith is focused on making benchmark examples of the Barossa's time proven varietals.
This 2023 Tim Smith Eden Valley Riesling is another sensational Riesling from a vintage that is proving one of the best in recent years. Sourced from a single vineyard in Eden Valley, nearly 100 years of age, this is an intensely flavoured and beautifully structured Riesling, with loads of lime, grapefruit and lively acidity. Ideal for enjoying over the warmer months, this is sure to develop more depth and complexity for the more patient among us.
"94 Points. What a solid performer this wine is – see here – produced from a centenarian vineyard. Lime, white lily, a little spice with a gin and tonic thing happening. It’s all juicy lime and green apple, with a firm chalky feel to it, plenty of bite and tang, and also quite stony. with a lime zest finish of excellent length. It’s perhaps a little rugged, though I like that character anyway; it’s textural and interesting. Tasted: Dec23 12% alc. $30 Screwcap Drink: 2024 - 2035"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
