Henschke Percival’s Mill Grüner Veltliner 2025

Share

This has some classic varietal character with spice complexity woven neatly through defined fruit. White peach, white pepper, honeydew melon, lemon peel and a subtle vegetal tone. Sweet citrus and stone fruits lead the palate with pepper spice and some bitter citrus-preserve notes in tow before a vein of delicately chalky phenolics add texture and subtle grip through the finish. A well-made, approachable wine that stays true to its varietal character at an attractive price point.
