Hewitson Gun Metal Riesling 2022
Devastating October hail destroyed some Eden Valley vineyards, but those that escaped were blessed with superb late/prolonged summer. Wines such as this are full to the brim with juicy lime and lemon fruit balanced by crisp acidity. Lovely vintage, saved from the jaws of hell. Drink to: 2032; Alcohol: 12.5%; Rating: 95 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion

Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling 2024
2023 Review: Riesling sourced a single vineyard way up around 490m elevation in Pewsey Vale; made by winemaker Louisa Road. When I was living in the Eden Valley, 10km or so from this vineyard, we used to call Pewsey Vale riesling 'Eden Valley San Pellegrino', such was the gusto with which we consumed it. Nothing's changed. It's classic Eden Valley riesling through and through. Fresh limes, Christmas lily, a sizzling minerally line and thirst slakingly wonderful. Vital, vivid and essential summer drinking. Drink to: 2033; Price: $26.00; Alcohol: 11.5%; Rating: 94 Points & Special Value Star; Dave Brookes; James Halliday Wine Companion

Crabtree Watervale Riesling 2024
This really is a very good example of Clare Valley Riesling. Aromas of lemon and lime burst from the glass immediately with just a faint hint of orange zest. The palate is exquisitely presented with a refreshing vibrancy and purity. There’s a degree of palate tension holding it together and focusing to a very long finish. Yes, you can drink this now, but it has plenty there for later enjoyment. Drink: 2024 - 2036; Price: $32.00; Rating: 94 Points; Ray Jordan

Jeanneret Clare Valley Big Fine Girl Riesling 2023
Finely poised and firmly structured, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, lemon sorbet and jasmine nuances on the nose, leading to a captivating palate that's concentrated with restraint and finesse. Wonderfully structured and harmonious with a prolonged sleek finish. At its best: now to 2039; Price: $30.00; Rating: 94 Points; Sam Kim; Wine Orbit
