Description

30th Anniversary Vintage

Fourth-generation winemaker Cyril Henschke developed the Henschke reputation for premium riesling wines as early as the 1950s from the vineyard areas of Eden Valley, Keyneton, and Springton in the Eden Valley wine region. This region provides ideal ripening conditions for riesling and a unique track record of exceptional aging potential. The Eden Valley riesling vineyard is planted on sandy loam over gravel and bedrock with patches of clay. This wine is named as a tribute to their ancestor Julius Henschke, a highly acclaimed artist, and sculptor. Julius was recognised for his ornate headstones and angel sculptures at Gnadenberg Cemetery, as well as his most famous work, the inspiring War Memorial on North Terrace in Adelaide.

Citrus and passionfruit blossom soar as you swirl the glass, and the palate achieves the seemingly impossible with the volume of turbo-charged fruit. It reaches every receptor in the mouth and there’s no hint of added acidity, balance, and length faultless.

Review

This is a reserve selection from a number of Eden Valley vineyards honouring ancestor Julius Henschke, and is always a wine of utmost quality. Its flowery, fragrant lime and lemon aromas soar from the glass, the palate with its spear of unsweetened lime and lemon finish and aftertaste underlining its intensity and quality.
