    The 2024 Julius Riesling from Henschke is vibrant and expressive, showcasing an impressive intensity with intricate floral nuances held in reserve. The nose reveals fragrant aromas of makrut lime leaf, lemon zest, and floral hints of citrus blossom, frangipani, chamomile, and white clover. Subtle notes of spicy green peppercorn and anise add further complexity. On the palate, expect a core of fresh citrus and white peach, complemented by layers of clover, white musk, and pink grapefruit. The bright, laser-focused acidity compresses these flavours, driving the wine to a remarkably long finish.

    This 100% Riesling is sourced from the Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard, which is managed with organic and biodynamic practices, along with selected high-quality vineyards in the Eden Valley wine region. The wine is fermented in tanks and bottled post-vintage to preserve the delicate aromatic fruit characters.

    Intense lime pastille, chamomile aromas with herb garden, hint flinty notes. Beautifully concentrated and pure fruited riesling, with ample lime, lemon glacé fruits, fine bittersweet textures, a hint of tonic water and long fresh quartz-like acidity. Wonderful volume and mineral length; the fruit density offsetting the lowish alcohol beautifully. This has all the hallmarks of a classic bottling. Delicious to drink now, but bottle age complexity beckons.

    Crystalline pale lemon colour. Lime blossom, lemon pith and talcum aromatics. Palate fills with lively lemon and lime fruit, grapefruit pith and a crackle of saline acidity. Phenomenal length, some fruit sweetness fills in at the middle but is well balanced by a fine grip at the finish.
