The 2026 Henschke Peggy's Hill Riesling is a vibrant Eden Valley Riesling crafted by Henschke from a selection of high-quality vineyards across the region. Named after the iconic Peggy's Hill landmark, this wine captures the purity and freshness that have made Eden Valley one of Australia's premier Riesling regions. It opens with lifted aromas of lime blossom, lemon zest, green apple and white jasmine, complemented by delicate floral notes and a fine mineral edge.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with bright natural acidity and exceptional precision. Flavours of fresh lime, citrus, crisp apple and hints of lemon curd are carried by a steely mineral backbone, leading to a long, dry finish with remarkable freshness and balance. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity, it is approachable in its youth while offering excellent cellaring potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Eden Valley Riesling for those who enjoy vibrant, citrus-driven whites with classic regional character. Enjoy now for its youthful freshness or cellar through 2038 to develop additional complexity. Pair with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, Thai-inspired seafood dishes or fresh goat's cheese.
