Description

Henschke Julius riesling

Pale lemon with green hues. Lifted aromas of frangipani, kaffir lime leaf, citrus blossom and lime zest, with notes of bergamot orange, white currant, thyme and green peppercorn. The palate shows excellent flavour intensity with concentrated lime juice, grapefruit and white peach, balanced by focused and defined acidity, and a river pebble mineral mouthfeel driving the powerful and long finish.

“This is a stylishly refined riesling with a delicately fragrant nose that offers peach and lemon, as well as wet-stone and flinty edges. This is pristine. The palate has such a smooth delivery of very intense lemon and white nectarine. Some gently pithy grapefruit builds into the long, sleek finish. Impressive. Drink or hold.”
