Riesling 2019 – Black Market Deal #34268
- Light, aromatic
- Eden Valley
Watch out for this one, once opened, it’s easily inhaled. It’s lovely and soft, not as high in acid as you may expect. Heaps of lime juice, melon pith over the nose. Steely palate, once again just really mellow and broad, a bit of lanolin as well, that waxy mouth feel and a subtle lavender on the finish. Really easy drinking from a producer that we can say, hand on heart, produces great wine every year.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Eden Valley
Next door to the Barossa Valley lies Eden Valley, a small yet highly significant Aussie region celebrated for their signature cool climate wines and impressive history. According to our sources, the first Eden Valley vineyard was planted in the early 1840s, and today there are just over 12 local wineries, both boutique and family-owned that continue to produce, exceptional vintages, including the famous Yalumba and Henschke. Renowned for their signature riesling and shiraz, the glorious region is a heavenly picking field for A-grade fruit. It comes as no surprise that many of Australia's winemakers source their grapes from the Eden Valley.
