Delivery end of July "Attractive lemon and green-apple-fruit fragrances here with plenty of punch and concentration too." 91-92/100 James Suckling (Jun-2015) "Pale yellow. Nervy and sharply focused on the nose, displaying intense citrus and orchard fruit qualities and subtle floral and herb accents. Dry, chewy and spicy in the mouth, offering Meyer lemon and pear flavors and a snap of candied ginger. Smooths out nicely on a long, mineral-tinged finish that echoes the pear note." 90/100 vinous.com (Oct-2017) "A delectably juicy semillon, one of the brightest and freshest I can remember. Just what the 5% fermented and matured in used French oak contributed is irrelevant, because it’s the dancing lemon-infused flavours that make this wine so attractive. There is every reason to agree with the 20+-year cellaring potential suggested by Henschke." James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (2018) The Henschke estate practises biodynamic farming; "I would like to see the next generation inherit a fertile and sustainable land. Using the principles of biodynamics and organics enables me to create the best environment for plant growth."
