WHITE WINE
HENSCHKE JULIUS EV RIESLING
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. The wine is named
after ancestor julius henschke, a highly acclaimed artist and sculptor.
Tasting Notes
A benchmark vintage of
Julius that will go down as one of the greats. Right now, though, it is still a
baby showing a pale, almost watery, colour with a greenish tinge. Aromatics are
powerful, yet focussed with a captivating exotic edge evidenced by layers of
citrus, pear and guava. Great precision follows on what is currently quite a
closed and savoury palate with stony minerality and citrus notes driving to a
long, fine and detailed finish. A super wine that is a fantastic drink now and
will only get better for some time to come.
