Description

100% riesling grown on the Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard, managed with organic and biodynamic practices.

Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage to preserve the delicate aromatic fruit characters. Bottle aged in the Hensche cellar for museum release.

Fourth-generation winemaker, Cyril developed the Henschke reputation for premium Eden Valley riesling from 1961. This region provides ideal ripening conditions for riesling and a unique track record of exceptional ageing potential. The Henschke Eden Valley riesling vineyard is planted on sandy loam over gravel and bedrock with patches of clay. Since 1992, this wine has been named as a tribute to ancestor Albert Julius Henschke (1888-1955), a highly acclaimed artist and sculptor. Julius was recognised for his ornate headstones and angel sculptures at the Gnadenberg Cemetery, as well as his most celebrated work, the inspiring National War Memorial on North Terrace in Adelaide.

Medium gold with green hues. Intensely fragrant aromas of lime blossom, lemon curd, chamomile, clove and shortcrust pastry. A generous and complex palate with a vibrant citrus core of lime zest, tangerine and pink grapefruit is supported by white blossom, bush honey and toasted brioche notes. A powerful, defined and poised wine.
