Henschke, `Peggy's Hill` 11.5% Eden Valley Riesling 75cl

Pale straw with lime green hues. Vibrant aromas of white rose, almond blossom, lime leaf and white peach, with hints of jasmine. The palate is intense and pure with flavours of lemon rind and white stone fruit, balanced by fine acidity and finishing with an excellent length.

The Henschke family have made wine at their estate in the Eden Valley since 1868, with fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke taking over in 1979. Together with his viticulturist wife, Prue, they have built upon their inheritance, transforming this traditional producer into one that is celebrated worldwide. Their two flagship single vineyards wines, ‘Hill of Grace’ and ‘Mount Edelstone’, have become two of Australia’s most acclaimed.

Henschke own three vineyards in the Eden Valley and one in the Adelaide Hills, all of which are farmed in line with biodynamic principles. Prue’s pioneering work in the vineyard cannot be underestimated. Over the past 50 years she has worked tirelessly, vine by vine, to improve the health of the vineyards through meticulous soil management and reintroducing native plants to promote biodiversity.
