The Henschke Eden Valley vineyard is located in the cooler part of Mount Lofty Ranges, at an altitude of 500m and average rainfall of 700mm. The vines are effectively dry grown, planted on their own rootstock to a contour, the intention being to conserve soil moisture and reduce erosion. Planted in the middle of apple growing country, just northeast of Mount Lofty, right at the top of a long, picturesque valley at a cool ripening 550m, fruit grown to the Lenswood property imparts fragrance, minerality and racy acidity to the finished wine. Upon completion of ferments, components are assembled and bottled very promptly after vintage to preserve Lilly’s fragrant character and clean fruit.
