Wine Advocate, 94 Points
"The 2022 Bin 51 Riesling is talcy and floral and lacy on the nose, with green apple, a hint of pear skin, lanolin and saline acidity threaded throughout. This has a generosity and plushness to it, all contained within a web of fine phenolics. This is pithy and über fine. So good. 2022 in the Eden Valley was excellent: an extension of the cool and even season experienced in 2021, quality is high and nuanced detail is inherent in these wines. Drink it now, or cellar it for a decade or more. Up there as one of the best Bin 51s we've seen."
James Suckling, 94 Points
"I love the very delicate and subtle nose of lemon and lime blossoms. Sleek, elegant and focused, this is an excellent Eden Valley dry riesling with wonderful mineral and lime zest freshness at the long precise finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"Bin 51 captures many of the attributes of the Eden Valley locale. The region’s high altitude and cool climate induces riesling with great finesse and elegance with a capacity for long-term cellaring. South Australia has gained worldwide recognition for producing world-class Riesling and Eden Valley always features. In their youth, the wines possess scented floral and citrus aromas, with a mineral edge and marked natural acidity, contributing significantly to the palate texture and flavor."
Alcohol: 11.5%
