Henschke Johanne Ida Selma Blanc de Noir MD 2022

This is special sparkling wine that has been blended with 23 vintages, including those that have been on lees in the bottle for 23 years. Ranging from 1997 (the very first year that the Henschke's set out to make sparkling) to 2020. Pale straw-gold with green hues. Fragrant aromas of citrus blossom and white peach are complemented by creamy notes of almond, toasted brioche and shortcrust pastry. A generous and complex palate of white nectarine, grapefruit pith, crème brûlée and roasted cashew are beautifully balanced by crisp, mineral acidity and a very fine bead for a long, fresh finish.

Winemaker's Notes

Henschke Johanne Ida Selma Blanc de Noir MD 2022
Hand-selected Pinot Noir was whole-bunch pressed, settled, cool fermented and underwent malolactic fermentation; the wine was subsequently bottle fermented and left on lees in bottle to age. Multiple vintages from 1997 to 2018 were combined in an assemblage-style blend in December 2022, as a multi-vintage, mature disgorged blanc de noir. The wine is sealed under a stainless steel closure to allow the wine to knit together and retain its bottle-age complexity.

2021 Vintage Description for the Tappa Pass and the Marble Angel:
Average winter rainfall was followed by minor frost events late in September and spring rains in early October. Budburst was even with good fruitfulness although heat bursts in late November affected fruit set. Strong winds in early December caused some damage to the canopies but the fruit remained disease free. January was mild and dry with a short heat wave late in the month at veraison, followed by rainfall in early February. The lead up to vintage and conditions during ripening remained cool, cloudy but dry. The fruit showing balanced acidity, excellent colour and great flavour development.
