Tasting Notes
A dry white wine from Drumborg in Henty. Clean and crisp with floral aromas. Citrus notes come through on the palate with a long and balanced finish.
Winemaking
50% of the fruit was destemmed and 50% went into the press whole bunch. Pressed directly to Stainless Steel tank for fermentation which occurred without added yeast. Allowed to settle before racking in July and Bottling in August. No fining, filtration or cold stabilization.
Review
Without a doubt, Riesling is the star of Henty, made popular by wineries such as Seppelt and Crawford River. The vineyard is named after Jack and Lois Doeven, and is located in the well-known area of Drumborg, a name known to many Rieslingophiles. This is a citrus bomb, full of heady lemon, lime and grapefruit aromas, and a pronounced flinty, minerally note, not to forget some tantalising peachiness. The palate is silky and full, with a mellifluous feel. When consumed with food (I recommend something spicy and/or salty), it’s positively vibrant and zippy to the max.
