      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.

      Henschke Julius Riesling 2024

      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.

      — Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal, 97 Points

      Phenomenal length, some fruit sweetness fills in at the middle but is well balanced by a fine grip at the finish.

      — Stuart Knox, The Real Review, 96 Points

      The 2024 Julius Riesling is lean and austere, both aromatically and in the mouth. One must wait for the length of flavour to subside prior to casting judgment upon it; and it is best that you do wait, because the length of flavour is surely one of the greatest determining factors of quality. Here… there is an array of white flowers, crushed fine quartz, citrus pith and lime oil, wrapped in a gauzy shroud of powder-fine phenolics, threaded together by saline acidity. It is long, subtle, composed and excellent. This is Eden Valley at its finest, and the finest Julius yet.

      — Winebow, 96 points

      Pale straw in the glass… inviting aromas of Bickford’s lime cordial, fresh lime juice, green apple sorbet and grapefruit. Hints of crushed quartz, Christmas lily, citrus blossom, almond paste, ozone, lemongrass and makrut lime. There is a beautiful tubular, porcelain palate shape here, slickly focused and precise with a slight ache of umami as the wine tears across the tongue like a limey Shinkansen, finishing long, dry and beautifully balanced.

      — Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, 96 points

      Mineral-driven notes of slate, wet stones, limes and talcum powder. The palate is tightly wound with a light-bodied mouthfeel and energetic acidity, giving notes of grapefruit, lemon peel and nectarines. A very focused and restrained wine that will develop nicely in the bottle over time.

      — James Suckling, 95 points

      A mild summer has defined a particularly enduring Julius. The delicacy of its lifted apple blossom fragrance is gorgeous, heralding a palate of classic lime and granny smith apple purity of considerable concentration. Cool season acidity traces a long finish of structured focus and long-term potential.
