Picked 17 Feb and 12 Mar, cold-fermented in batches. You have to start with the aftertaste in describing the wine, because that's where 90% of the action is, as its intensity and length break free and take you back to the flowery, talc bouquet and all that lies between. Henschke puts a 20+-year cellaring potential on it, and I'm not going to argue with that.
Pale green-gold in colour. Fragrant jasmine, frangipani and almond blossom scents are complemented by musk, stone-fruit and signature Eden Valley riesling aromas of lemon and lime zest. A soft, succulent palate shows excellent depth and balance, with vibrant acidity, minerality and a long, focussed finish.
