Purple Palate

Arguably Grant Burge's premier white, the Thorn is this famous Barossa label's example of Eden Valley Riesling. From 30 year old vines, whose deep roots promote texture and length of palate, this has all the hallmarks of classic Eden 'Rizza', bursting with steely lime and an array of potent citrus elements. The long, dry finish shows neat balance and promises terrific pairing with delicate seafood. The provenance of this vineyard assures good cellaring over the next decade. -Ed.
