It may feel like the depths of Winter at the moment, and Riesling may be acquainted with seafood and Summer out on the deck, but we cracked open this 2003 Pewsey Vale Museum Reserve while rugged up with beanies and unnecessarily loud scarves and it went down a treat.
Aged Riesling is so different to its young counterpart, with much more weight and richer tastes coming through. Instead of the expected fresh lemongrass, we tasted candied lemon with rosemary and instead of a crisp finish, there was a lingering of lavender honey on the palate. This wine was also wonderfully toasty, which gave weight to the myriad of flavours that mingled together beautifully.
