Planted at approximately 550 metres elevation on ancient grey-shale and sandy loam soils, the vineyard site benefits from cool sub-alpine nights and vibrant daytime sun. The wine pays homage to the historical E.W. Percival Timber Mill that operated on the property during the early 1900s. The 2025 vintage delivered steady, balanced ripening, yielding grapes with brilliant varietal aromatics, concentrated primary fruit flavours, and a precise, chalky mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-harvested at optimal maturity, the fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine varietal perfume and fruit freshness. Extended maturation on fine lees prior to bottling builds delicate textural breadth while maintaining bright natural acidity. In the glass, the wine offers expressive aromas of white peach, honeydew melon, citrus peel, and orange blossom, complemented by distinctive undertones of white pepper and fresh marjoram. The palate is crisp, focused, and beautifully weighted, carrying sweet stone fruit and lemon-lime flavours through to a textured, phenolic finish with persistent mineral grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fragrant, spicy and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eWhite peach, honeydew melon, lemon peel, orange blossom, and classic white pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Crisp, focused and textural\u003cbr\u003eJuicy nectarine, sweet citrus, and grapefruit balanced by fine chalky phenolics and vibrant acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, savoury and mineral\u003cbr\u003ePersistent green peppercorn, marjoram, and citrus preserve notes with a refreshing, dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Pale colour. Fresh lemon curd, pear skin aromas with some lifted tonic water notes. Refreshing and bittersweet with ample lemon, grapefruits, pear, hint tonic water flavours, fine slinky textures, some creamy notes on the mid-palate and long crunchy acidity. Very classical in style. Arguably the South Australian reference for this variety. Best to drink early to enjoy the primary fruit.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Andrew Caillard MW, Vintage Journal, 95 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This wine delivers a good amount of fruit flavour, and character, but it also has a presence, a rarer trait. It tastes of grapefruit pulp and white pepper, lemon balm and blood orange, with tonic-like or general herb notes whispered throughout. It's excellent. It works for its flavour and mouthfeel but it has more to it besides.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 94 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This has some classic varietal character with spice complexity woven neatly through defined fruit. White peach, white pepper, honeydew melon, lemon peel and a subtle vegetal tone. Sweet citrus and stone fruits lead the palate with pepper spice and some bitter citrus-preserve notes in tow before a vein of delicately chalky phenolics add texture and subtle grip through the finish. A well-made, approachable wine that stays true to its varietal character at an attractive price point.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Tom Kline, Winepilot, 92 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Henschke\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Grüner Veltliner\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eState - South Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Adelaide Hills\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2025\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henschke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44334702690391,"sku":"HEN-PM-GV-25","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/b6d2a8c8-7eae-4181-b4c9-4f899b8c24a0.webp?v=1790222257","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/henschke-percivals-mill-gruner-veltliner-2025","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
