Notes:
WINE DESCRIPTION: This Riesling takes its name from a local landmark, Peggy’s Hill, at the top of the range between the villages of Eden Valley and Keyneton. Peggy's Hill Riesling is produced from selected traditional Henschke Eden Valley growers with vines up to 50 years old and grown in low vigor ancient Cambrian soils at around 500 meters in altitude. Peggy’s Hill Riesling displays exceptional varietal and regional characteristics.
Eden Valley is regarded as one of Australia’s exemplary wine regions for producing world class, highly expressive, and long-lived riesling wines. The variation of sites across the region enhances Henschke's ability to blend and express both the cooler high-altitude characters along with northern sites of moderate altitude. To capture the ultimate expression of the season, the fruit is picked once perfectly ripe. After a gentle extractraction of the free-run juice, and the wine goes into cool fermentation in neutral vessels for dryness. Peggy’s Hill is Henschke's definitive riesling to encapsulate the greater Eden Valley region.
The hand picked fruit is partially crushed and chilled before gentle pressing of the free-run juice. Fermentation follows under cool temperatures to allow for high retention of the aromas and flavors. Once fermented, the wine rests on yeast lees for an extended period to build texture.
TASTING NOTES: Pale straw with lime green hues. Vibrant aromas of white florals, almond blossom, lime, and white peach. The palate is rich and concentrated with ripe citrus, balanced by a bright acid line providing a mineral texture, and excellent focus and length.
