Henschke The Rose Grower Nebbiolo 2022

Description

An Australian expression of Nebbiolo with precision and quiet poise. From the elevated slopes above Eden Valley, Henschke’s The Rose Grower 2022 reveals how this noble Piedmontese grape adapts to South Australian light and soil. Named in honour of the Roesler family, who once tended this property as a dairy, it now produces fruit defined by clarity, fragrance, and fine structure. The vines sit on rocky, fog-affected terrain overlooking the North Para River, capturing cool morning mists and long, measured ripening. Fermented on skins for five months and matured for eleven months in seasoned French oak, this wine shows the Henschke family’s meticulous approach to texture and balance. The result is a pure, restrained Nebbiolo that combines lifted aromatics with firm yet graceful tannins, reflecting both its Italian heritage and its Australian provenance. A wine of depth and focus, built for those who appreciate precision and longevity. Tasting NotesNOSE– Fragrant and floralPerfumed aromas of raspberry, red cherry, rose petal and dried herbs.
