High Eden Riesling picked with a delicious ripeness balancing both the rich lime citrus awesomeness of this variety against a thirst inducing lick of mineral salinity then aged to perfection; a true ode to Eden Valley!
Mark Bartholomaeus' High Eden Riesling Picked 11th of March 2021
Very Bright light gold straw with hints of pale lime green.
Intense ripe limes underlaid with a rich bready yeasty complexity
Bold rich structure of ripe lemon/lime curd with a dollop of sorbet. Firm and balanced acidity with a pleasing phenolic line over a full and delicious mid palate. Long on flavour rich and supple in the mouth. An excellent argument for gentle aging , guaranteed to be a complex and rewarding drink!
The 2021 Eden Edge is my Citrusy Bath-bomb Explosion in a Glass! This crisp delicious wine brings together the intensity High Eden Riesling (allowed to gather ripeness) brings to the table against the natural magnesium / calcium salts character inherent in these high granite under-laid ridges. Tough old Riesling vines grown by Mark Bartholomaeus on his Eden Valley High Eden block is the foundation of the 2021 Eden Edge. His Block is located on the High Eden Ridge. His fruit is defined by its incisive structure chock full of juicy limes and citrus up front with this pleasing underlay of mineral salts creating a mouth watering contrast and depth of flavour. The Eden Valley Ranges capture and funnel cool moist air through the vineyards in the night while the days gather the warmth of late summer / early Autumn sunshine. Mix these elements together and shake them up and you have the essential ingredients for developing the delicious flavours that drive the Eden Edge. The 2021 Eden Edge was crafted with minimal intervention from fruit chock full of 'Crispy Deliciousness'. Basket pressing was followed by long cool slow co-fermentation on full solids at low temperature. This wine spent around 5 months on lees before being racked in August and bottled in Mid November 2021
