Henschke Julius Riesling 2024 is a distinguished white wine from the Eden Valley region in South Australia, produced by the esteemed Henschke family winery. Established in 1868, Henschke is renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation, crafting wines that express the unique characteristics of their vineyards.

The 2024 vintage experienced a mild summer leading into a warm, dry autumn, allowing for optimal fruit ripeness and the development of pure, intense flavours.

Appearance Pale straw with green tinges, reflecting the wine’s youthful vibrancy and freshness. The clarity is excellent, and the wine’s medium intensity suggests a delicate structure with brightness. Fine, slow-moving legs indicate a well-balanced wine with good acidity and clean flavours

Aroma: Fragrant makrut lime leaf and lemon zest aromas with floral hints of citrus blossom, frangipani, chamomile, and white clover, and supporting notes of spicy green peppercorn and anise.

Taste: The palate has an intense core of fresh citrus, Kaffir lime zest, and white peach, layered with clover, chamomile, white musk, green apple, and pink grapefruit. A crystalline acidity carries the fruit across the palate, accentuating the purity and brightness of the flavours. Subtle minerality adds depth and texture, while a fine saline note enhances the wine’s precision and energy.

Finish: The bright, laser-focused acidity compresses these flavours, driving the wine to a remarkably long and crisp finish. Lingering notes of lime, grapefruit pith, and flinty minerality create a refreshing, mouthwatering sensation that promises great ageing potential.

Food Pairing: This Riesling pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, poultry, and spicy Asian cuisine, where its vibrant acidity and citrus notes complement and enhance the flavours of these dishes.
