2019 Mystery Barossa Valley Riesling Deal No. 6326

97 POINTS

Jeremy Oliver

A definitive, glorious Eden Valley riesling now beginning to show the benefits of genuine bottle-age. Moving into a pale-ish golden green, its heady perfume of white flowers, lime and lemon reveals some buttery, toasty and honeyed development, with suggestions of waxiness, smoke and mineral. Superbly long and focused, its round and fleshy core of vibrant fruit extends down a fine chalky undercarriage towards a mouthwatering, steely finish that's perfectly dry, mouthwatering and even a shade saline. Enough to set me off to Pambula for a bag of oysters...

DWWA 2026 - Decanter World Wine Awards

An astonishing murmuration of orange peel, orchard fruit and honeyed toast soars across the nose accompanying pearls of flinty mineral wisdom. Textured and waxy with a steely acid drive and a fantastically long lasting finish. Award: Platinum - DWWA 2026

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

This wine is in that magical place where everything feels fresh and yet everything feels developed. It’s limey and saline and savoury and spicy (even), with ozone, mineral, hay, whispers of kero and wax-like notes all in play. It offers a lot, and it keeps it all going beautifully through the finish. Truth be told: aged riesling rarely floats my boat. But this wine does. It delivers everything with both conviction and beauty.
