Henschke Peggy's Hill Eden Valley Riesling, 2022

The cool climate Eden Valley is the prized place for Australian Riesling. Henschke, of course, produces some of the finest Austrralian wines, red and white, including the superb Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone Shiraz.

Light straw color. Bright aromas. Lime, white flowers, petrol. Medium intensity, fuller body than I expected from Riesling. Medium finish  I but I expect more complexity and depth will develop with age. I lilke the wine and scored it 15/20, but at $38 it is significantly more expensive than my favorite Rieslings such as those of Trimbach (Alsace) and Chateau Grand Traverse (OId Mission Peninsula of Michigan).
