- TASTING NOTE: "A pretty-smelling little Nebbiolo, pale ruby with a gentle orange meniscus and gentle aromas of cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals, grilled fig, dried citrus rind, bay leaf, black tea and distant tones of tar and earth. There is a poise and savoury focus to the wine; it's dialed in with a wash of subdued mountain herbs, sour cherry, gypsum-dust tannins and a fine, lacy mineral cadence." 93 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 2024
- ABOUT THE WINE: Stephen and Prue Henschke added to Cyril’s original 1960s plantings on the Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard to trial newly introduced varieties to Australia: Nebbiolo, Barbera, tempranillo and Graciano. The Nebbiolo vines were planted in 2003 on rocky soils on an elevated foggy north facing slope at the source of the North Para River, at the top of the range overlooking the village of Eden Valley. First produced in 2010, this wine is named after the Roesler family who managed the property, now home to the Henschke Nebbiolo vines, as a dairy for generations. In the German language, Roesler is an occupational name for a rose grower. Fermented on skins for 5 months and matured in 100% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 11 months prior to blending and bottling.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Henschke is one of Australia's great wine producers, situated in Keyneton in the Eden Valley of South Australia. The Henschke's trace their roots in Australia to the mid 19th century with the first recorded sale of Henschke wine in 1868. It's flagship wine, the 'Hill Of Grace' Shiraz is sourced from a single vineyard from vines over 160 years old. The current generations of the Henschke family (5th and 6th) that tend the 109 hectares under vine in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills, use organic and biodynamic principals in their vineyards and are world leaders in sustainable wine production.
