In the early 1970s legendary winemaker Max Schubert began the quest for a range of white wines that would equal the already famous red wines of Penfold’s.
One of the first wines from these trials was named Autumn Riesling. Some of Penfolds’ finest riesling parcels in the early 1970s were bottled under this label and the Koonunga Hill Autumn Riesling acknowledges the original 1972 vintage by closely adhering to the original packaging with a fitting ‘retro’ label.
The wine pays further homage to the original through being specially crafted to develop further with bottle age. A fine talc acid structure gives great length of flavour and ‘linearity’ to this wine and the small addition of traminer makes it a truly unique offering.
Colour: Very pale straw with lime green hues.
Nose: Highly aromatic with fresh citrus at the forefront – mandarin and lime juice alongside pretty floral notes of almond blossom, white flowers and Gardenia.
Very fresh!
Palate: Citrus ( muddled lime / Mojito ) carries through to the palate amid delicate fresh ginger and a lovely typical Eden Valley talcy/quartz-like mineral acid structure.
A wine with wonderful length of flavour enjoyable now and over the next 2 years.
