As one of Australia’s oldest family-owned wineries, Henschke has been making wine for over 150 years in the Barossa’s Eden Valley. Established in 1868, Henschke is resolute in its desire for complete integration of vineyard and winery, through six generations of family grape growing and winemaking tradition in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills.

Henschke Julius Riesling is pale golden in colour with green hues. 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. 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, knitted together by bright and pure acidity, driving an impressively long and crisp finish.

Pale straw in the glass with a flash of green and inviting aromas of Bickford's lime cordial, fresh lime juice, green apple sorbet and grapefruit. Hints of crushed quartz, Christmas lily, citrus blossom, almond paste, ozone, lemongrass and makrut lime. There is a beautiful tubular, porcelain palate shape here, slickly focused and precise with a slight ache of umami as the wine tears across the tongue like a limey Shinkansen, finishing long, dry and beautifully balanced. - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, Published 23 September 2024
