Henschke, Peggy's Hill Riesling 2022 vs Meursault, Poruzots, 1er Cru, Domaine Antoine Jobard, Burgundy 2023

Henschke, Peggy's Hill Riesling 2022

Henschke crafts some of the New World's greatest wines, with a vitality, energy and vibrancy you rarely see in Barossa. Riesling has a lesser known history in this region, likely brought over by German settlers in the 1800s, and Henschke are well-known for working wonders with this grape variety. The vineyard itself is up in the hills and shaded by trees, protecting the fruit from the intensity of Barossa's climate, and the 2022 in particular shows impressive salinity, with notes of yuzu, citrus, white flowers, lime pith and a briny, sea-spray note. The Henschke wines are produced using biodynamic and organic methods, to preserve the quality of the vines and soil for the generations to come.
