Description / Reviews
"Ultra-premium, single-site wines from Eden Valley & Watervale, the ‘Black Label’ Reserves are released on October 31st of each year to celebrate John Vickery’s birthday. The wines are given three years of bottle maturation, as per John’s preference, and display significant complexity and the beginnings of secondary flavour development in keeping with the best examples of Australian Riesling. Made from a single parcel of fruit each vintage, carefully selected for its quality and age-worthiness, the Reserves are a source of friendly competition amongst the Vickery growers." - Vickery, Winemaker
"Pale straw, bright, lively and vibrant in the glass. Lifted and pretty aromas of citrus pith, lemon curd, mineral, white lily, jasmine and just-ripe white stone fruit. Juicy, mouth-filling, with plenty of pithy and crunchy lemony acidity, a touch of toast and lovely length and drive. A wine that is really attractive drinking now, but will also cellar beautifully for many years to come" - 95 Points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
