Henschke 'Louis' Semillon 2023

Sourced from a single selection of over fifty-year-old vines on the Henschke estate in the cool, high-altitude Eden Valley, the Henschke Louis Semillon 2023 is a wine of exceptional pedigree and quiet distinction. Named as a tribute to Louis Edmund Henschke, the fourth-generation grower of the historic Hill of Grace vineyard, the fruit is managed using strict organic and biodynamic practices. In the cellar, the 100% Semillon is fermented in stainless steel tanks before maturing on its yeast lees for four months to preserve its pristine structure and aromatic purity. Pouring a pale lemon with subtle gold hues, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe lemon curd, white peach, and floral honey. On the palate, that lees maturation brings a wonderful textural weight that balances the crisp, refreshing Granny Smith apple acidity, carrying through to an exceptionally long and clean finish. With its striking elegance and vibrant freshness, this sophisticated Australian white wine is a brilliant match for delicate flavours. It shines wonderfully when served alongside pan-seared sea bass, roasted lemon chicken, or a fresh crab salad.
