“Mineral-driven notes of slate, wet stones, limes and talcum powder. The palate is tightly wound with a light-bodied mouthfeel and energetic acidity, giving notes of grapefruit, lemon peel and nectarines. A very focused and restrained wine that will develop nicely in the bottle over time. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”

95/100 — Winepilot

“This 2024 Julius Riesling is a powerhouse with its tightly coiled aromas of Rose’s lime and kaffir zest which are youthful and well composed. Fantastic volume of flavour to follow, with an almost chewy texture thanks to the density and sheer power of flavour. A backbone of crystalline acidity then drives a slightly closed finish of exceptional length.”

About This Wine

2024 Julius Riesling is made from Riesling grown on the Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard, managed with organic and biodynamic practices, as well as selected high-quality vineyards in the Eden Valley wine region. Harvest took place from 26 February to 1 March. Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage to preserve the delicate aromatic fruit characters. Cellaring potential is noted as 30+ years from vintage (reviewed June 2024).

Henschke has been making wine in the Barossa’s Eden Valley wine region since 1868, with a family winemaking tradition spanning over 150 years and six generations.
