Description
The vibrant, focused, intense and ripe 2014 Bin 51 is a striking riesling with plenty of fine lemon and lime fruit. It’s classically Eden Valley in terms of bright, musky perfume and some flinty, stony, savory characters underlying. The palate has assertive fruit, making the wine quite fleshy yet fine, running through citrus to some light-stone fruit flavors. This holds well and fades gently. Attractive now or suitable for revisiting in 2020 for those that like the extra dimension of age. (Suckling)

Riesling
Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany’s ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very ‘terroir expressive’ varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of ‘fine’ white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
