DESCRIPTION
Henschke Peggy's Hill Riesling 2024 is named in reference to an iconic summit in the Eden Valley. Sourced from vines aged 10 to 70 years old, rooted in low-fertility soils at altitudes of 400 to 500 meters. Harvested between late February and early March 2024, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and quickly bottled to preserve all the finesse and delicate fruit of the grape variety. It features 11.5% alcohol, a pH of 2.90, and 6.83 g/L of total acidity.
On the nose, floral aromas of lemon, almond blossom, jasmine, and chamomile over notes of lime. On the palate, lively and crisp with a refreshing acidity leading to a long and elegant finish. Pairs with cod or grilled salmon, sushi, sashimi, or lightly spiced Thai or Vietnamese dishes. Aging potential of 20 years and more.
