Winery: Henschke
Region: Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc (50%), Semillon (50%)
Your Wine Guy says:
The Eleanor's Cottage seems almost white gold in colour with an enticing nose of tropical fruit flavours that leaps from the glass combining with some grassy and herbaceous notes. Very well balanced with refreshing acidity with flavours that linger quite a while. Great for summer drinking, but could last for another few years.
94 Points YWG Drink to 2012
Critics say:
Fresh, bright and tightly focused, with lemon zest nuances to the well-balanced palate; stylish wine with good mouth feel. Screwcap. 12.5% alc.

The winemaker says:
Colour: Pale green-gold in colour.
Nose: Sweet, fragrant and floral with gooseberry, melon and citrus blossom; notes of lantana and grassy clover blossom.
Palate: Juicy, delicious tropical fruit flavours with great texture, length and acid balance, and a crisp finish. Exceptional vintage, drink now to 2012. – Henschke Wines
