97 Points | Halliday Top 100 Wines 2021
The Henschke family have been making wine since Johann Henschke planted his first vineyard in South Australia’s Eden Valley in the early 1860's. Today, fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke and viticulturist wife Prue are recognised around the world for their exceptional quality wines, innovation and sustainability practices in their vineyards.
Henschke have taken advantage of exceptional conditions throughout the 2021 vintage to produce a stunning Peggy's Hill Eden Valley Riesling. Offering loads of lemon, lime and white peach aromas, the palate is impressively concentrated with green apple, lemon lime and tangerine notes. Framed by fine minerality, excellent balance and a long finish, this is a top-line Eden Valley Riesling from Henschke.
"97 Points.The blossom-filled bouquet surges instantly from the glass, citrus leading, apple tucked in close behind, the palate every bit as expressive. The crisp acidity provides the framework to carry the long finish and aftertaste; world class for a song. $25. Screwcap. 12% alc. Drink to 2031"- James Halliday, Top 100 Wines 2021.
