Henschke Green’s Hill Riesling 2025
$35, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This is a wheaty riesling with a body of fruit flavour and a sound, satisfying finish. It ticks the boxes in style. Grapefruit, lime, cracked wheat and woodsy spice notes all get a positive run. No hesitation. 93 points.
