Henschke, founded in 1868 in Keyneton by Johann Christian Henschke, is one of Australia's most historic and revered family-owned wineries, celebrated across six generations for single-vineyard icons such as Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone. Named in honor of ancestor Julius Henschke, a gifted artist and sculptor, the estate's flagship Eden Valley Riesling showcases the crystalline purity, high-altitude elegance, and decades-long aging potential of South Australia's premier Riesling terroir.
Crafted from 100% Riesling grown on biodynamically farmed vineyards in the high-altitude Eden Valley, the 2024 vintage was fermented cool in stainless steel tanks and bottled early under screw cap to capture razor-sharp aromatic precision. Displaying vibrant lime zest, white blossom, and slate-driven minerality framed by laser-focused natural acidity, it offers immediate vibrancy alongside exceptional cellar longevity.
