about this product

Henschke Julius Riesling Eden Valley

Concentrated and intensity flavoured Eden Valley Riesling. Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage to preserve the delicate aromatic fruit characters.

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. The wine is named after an ancestor of the family Julius Henschke, a highly acclaimed artist and sculptor.
