Henschke Peggys Hill Riesling Eden Valley 2021
Estimated delivery between May 24 and May 26.
Cyril Henschke developed the Henschke reputation for premium riesling wines as early as the 1950s from the vineyard areas of Eden Valley, Keyneton and Springton in the Eden Valley wine region. This region provides ideal ripening conditions for the riesling grape and has a unique track record of exceptional ageing potential for the variety.
This riesling takes its name from a local landmark, Peggy?s Hill, at the top of the range between the villages of Eden Valley and Keyneton. Produced from selected traditional Henschke Eden Valley growers, whose vines are up to 50 years old, growing in low-vigour ancient Cambrian soils at around 500m altitude. This Eden Valley riesling displays exceptional varietal and regional characteristics.
Pale straw with lime hues. Lifted and perfumed aromas of citrus, almond blossom, jasmine and frangipani with notes of lemon zest, kaffir lime leaf and lemon thyme. The palate is fruit-focused with concentrated lime juice , green apple and stone-fruit flavours, supported by clean, crisp acidity and great length.
