The Henschke Johanne Ida Selma Blanc de Noirs MD is a rare and beautifully crafted multi-vintage sparkling Pinot Noir from the cool-climate Adelaide Hills, showcasing over 155 years of Henschke family winemaking tradition. Mature disgorged and aged extensively on lees, the nose is intensely complex and elegant, revealing aromas of orange blossom, lemon curd, red apple and wild strawberry layered with brioche, toasted hazelnut, nougat and creamy pastry notes.
On the palate, it is refined and textural with a fine, persistent bead and remarkable depth. Flavours of white peach, raspberry, roasted cashew and citrus are balanced by vibrant acidity and a mineral freshness that carries through to a long, sophisticated finish. The style is luxurious, complex and beautifully poised, combining richness with precision and finesse.
