HENSCHKE
Tilly's Vineyard
2006 Barossa, Australia
This attractive fragrant blend is named as a tribute to great-aunt Ottilie Mathilde Henschke. Like the many remarkable women of an era when daily life was a far cry from the ease of today, she grew her own produce and raised a large family.
The 2006 vintage shaped up as another high quality year, but with only average yields in the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills.
A blend of 55% Semillon, 25% Chardonnay and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Green gold in color. Sweet and fragrant with delicate lifted aromas of clover blossom, lemon curd, white peach and hints of pear, clove and gooseberry. The sweet fruit palate is softand juicy with good intensity exhibiting citrus fruits, good length and a crisp finish.
2 ounce $4.25 5 ounce $8.25 bottle $31
