2023 Mystery Eden Valley Riesling Deal No. 6266

96 POINTS

David Sly - Decanter

Dazzling bright fruit is the star of the show, which comes as some surprise in a Reserve style. It boasts vivacious lemon over lime with a sparkle of granite at the edge of the frame. This luscious fruit is carried along a strong acid spine to a soft landing. Made with focused care by contract winemaker Phil Lehmann, using fruit from Block 7 of Mardi and David Hall’s Eden Valley vineyard,

James Suckling

Crisp, textural and vertical, with limes, fresh citrons, dried leaves and some stones on the nose, following through to a medium body with crisp acidity. Zesty and juicy with a precise, lively finish.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Light straw with aromas of freshly squeezed limes, green apple and grapefruit. There's a whiff of Christmas lily and orange blossom, just a daub of lemon curd and hints of crushed stone, clover blossom and mineral salts. Just a slink of texture on the palate and a long, stony draw to its form, finishing dry and lemony.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

This is bursting with lime and lime leaf flavour, a lemon sorbet/sherbet note lighting up the finish. It has good intensity and length, and is a good wine.

90 POINTS

Angus Hughson - Vinous

This Riesling Reserve from the cold 2023 vintage is an earlier drinking style offering up pear and red apple aromas which are fresh and bright. Light weight and silky with steely acidity before gently fading on the finish.
