Peter Lehmann H&V Hill and Valley Eden Valley Riesling

One of the most exciting new Eden Valley riesling releases in years, this is the wine that the Lehmann wizards have dubbed “baby Wigan”. Sourced from a single vineyard, the highest from which Lehmann sources in High Eden, it narrowly missed out on being anointed as this year’s Wigan for release in four year’s time. One of the most refined and pure wines of the vintage, it’s achingly pristine, impeccably poised, crystalline and underlined by beautifully structured, slatey minerality.
