Winemaking notes
Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage to preserve the delicate aromatic fruit characters. The wine is named after ancestor Julius Henschke, a highly acclaimed artist and sculptor.
Viticultural notes
This region provides ideal ripening conditions for the Riesling grape and has a unique track record of exceptional ageing potential for the variety. The Eden Valley Riesling vineyard is planted on sandy loam over gravel and bedrock with patches of clay.
Tasting notes
Pale straw with green hues. Fragrant and focused aromas of lime juice, lime blossom and kaffir lime leaf, with hints of grapefruit zest and green peppercorn. Pure and delicate flavors of lime juice, lemon and pink grapefruit are entwined with fine lime acidity and river pebble minerality, creating a textural mouthfeel and a subtly textured finish.
