Hentley Farm Riesling 2022 is a standout expression of Eden Valley Riesling from one of the Barossa’s most celebrated single-estate producers — founded in 1997 by Keith and Alison Hentschke on a 150-acre property along the banks of Greenock Creek, and named 2015 James Halliday Winery of the Year. Exceptional aromatic lift and vibrant fruit intensity, with lemon, lime, green apple, jasmine, musk, and a tropical lift of passionfruit and honeydew on the nose, and a textured, refreshing palate with grapefruit, fresh acidity, and impressive length. Drink now or cellar for 10 or more years.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Pale straw with brilliant clarity — the fresh, luminous colour of an Eden Valley Riesling from a single estate where nine distinct viticultural blocks, diverse soils, and carefully managed microclimates deliver fruit of exceptional aromatic intensity and precision.
Aroma
Exceptional aromatic lift — lemon and lime take centre stage, complemented by green apple, jasmine, musk, and a tropical lift of passionfruit and honeydew. The captivating, multi-layered bouquet of a single-estate Eden Valley Riesling crafted with meticulous attention to site, variety, and vintage expression.
Palate
The aromatic profile echoes beautifully on the palate, with grapefruit adding a zesty and refreshing dimension from the mid-palate. Remarkable texture delivers a highly satisfying mouthfeel, with fresh acidity providing a lively backbone and impressive length leaving a lingering impression. Vibrant and youthful now, with the depth and structure to develop over 10 or more years in the cellar.
Pairs With
A natural partner for apple pork chops, fried soft-shell crab, roast chicken, fresh seafood, and Asian-inspired cuisine — the vibrant citrus fruit, jasmine aromatics, and fresh acidity make Hentley Farm Riesling a deeply versatile and refreshing companion for the table. Serve well chilled.
