Expert Reviews
EVR 903 MZ. From the Mason and Zander family vineyards, each with a number of blocks, each parcel vinified separately, cool-fermented and pressed with free-run and pressings held separately until blending and bottling. The lime and lemon fruit is purposeful, the palate lengthened by taut acidity.
This has a lifted flowery nose with fresh as well as dried floral nuances, a hint of lavender talcum powder. There really is a lovely array of aromatics here. The palate is likewise wonderfully floral, fragrant, open and accessible. An utterly delicious wine.

How's it taste?
Fragrant and floral nose of lemon blossom, pear, orchard fruits, hints of lime and herbs. A powerful and well balanced palate with zesty lemon-lime citrus, regional minerality and a touch of sherbet. A long crisp finish.
How was it made?
The 2018 growing season in Eden Valley was successful as per previous years, with Riesling being a standout variety due to surprisingly high natural acids. Winter rainfall was higher than average, with spring and December rainfalls only slightly below average. Higher temperatures in October and November meant that the canopy growth was vigorous, flowering occurred without problems and bunches set well. Very warm temperatures in February slowed ripening with the grapes being picked in mid March. Fruit for the 2018 vintage was sourced from the Mason and Zander family blocks in Eden Valley. After harvest the grapes were crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks for approximately 40 days. Majority of the blend is free run juice but some pressings are used for flavour during the blending stage. The ferment was kept cool to retain delicate aromatics and low extraction rates on the juices avoided excessive phenolic retention. Malolactic fermentation was avoided to maintain a vibrant and crisp finish. A Riesling with beautiful purity and prettiness in youth, promises to be a wonderful wine to age – 10+ years.

A really great wine deal must must be accompanied by great value. There is nothing better than getting an incredible bottle of wine for a fraction of what similar quality wines sell for. My recommendations gives you the very best "Value for money" wines at different pricepoints.
