Tin Shed 'Wild Bunch' Eden Valley Riesling 2023

Tin Shed Wines, a boutique winery in South Australia’s Eden Valley, is known for producing wines that express the elegance and purity of this high-altitude region. The ‘Wild Bunch’ Eden Valley Riesling 2023 is a stellar example of their commitment to small-batch winemaking and sustainable viticulture. The Eden Valley, a subregion of the Barossa, is famed for its cool climate and ancient soils, which are ideal for producing Rieslings of precision, intensity, and longevity.

The 2023 vintage benefited from a long, cool growing season that allowed the Riesling grapes to ripen slowly, developing concentrated flavours while retaining crisp acidity. Crafted with minimal intervention, this wine showcases a true sense of place, highlighting Eden Valley’s distinctive mineral profile and vibrant fruit expression.

Appearance: Pale straw with bright green tinges, exuding clarity and freshness indicative of a youthful Riesling.

Aroma: The nose is lively and fragrant, with aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white flowers. Subtle hints of wet slate and a touch of lemon blossom add complexity and elegance.

Taste: Light-bodied yet intensely flavoured, the palate bursts with citrus notes of lemon and lime, supported by crisp green apple and a touch of nectarine. A stony minerality weaves through the wine, balanced by racy acidity that keeps it vibrant and refreshing.

Finish: The finish is long and precise, with lingering citrus and mineral notes that leave a clean, invigorating impression.

Food Pairing: The ‘Wild Bunch’ Riesling pairs beautifully with freshly grilled prawns dressed in lime and coriander, where the wine’s acidity and citrus notes complement the seafood’s freshness. It is also a perfect match for spicy Asian dishes, such as Thai green curry, as its crispness and minerality balance the heat and bold flavours.
