Created as part of the evolving Penfolds white wine development program, Penfolds Eden Valley Reserve Riesling captures the essence of the Eden Valley riesling style. The region’s high altitude and cool climate produces Rieslings of great complexity and capacity for long term cellaring. South Australia is gaining worldwide recognition for producing a definitive Australian Riesling style, with the Eden Valley at the very head of the field. The wines show typically focused apple and lime aromas, with a mineral edge and marked natural acidity contributing significantly to the palate feel and flavour. With the 1999 vintage release, the development of Penfolds Eden Valley Riesling marked a new chapter in a long history of Penfolds involvement in fine winemaking from this variety.
