After arriving from England, Joseph Gilbert planted the Eden Valley region’s first grapevines in 1847, initially 56ha of Riesling in contoured rows. The several remaining hectares of these vines continue to provide fruit for The Contours Riesling. At almost 500m, it is the coolest slope of the property, with the oldest vines. The Contours block is certified organic since 2013. Justin Knock MW: Lovely aged nose, hot steel, almost flinty, a high-toned aromatic character, but the palate is explosive with lemon and charred citrus peel, a warm and comforting toasty feel. Tasting close to fully evolved. Roger Jones: Mellow yellow buttercups, hints of jasmine, honey, toasty, fresh and racy on the palate, layers of complexity, juicy Williams pear and stone fruit. Julia Sewell: Straw and camomile, with notes of honey and candied lemon. There’s a comfortable quality to the well-developed character of the nose; an easy melding of fresher and more toasted qualities. And the palate reflects the aromas well.
