This Pinot Gris takes it's name from the growers, David and Annette Innes at Littlehampton in the Adelaide Hills.
The Adelaide Hills has an altitude ranging from 400-600m and a rainfall of around 700-1000mm. Soils consist of sandy loam overlying weathered shale and clay, which provide excellent conditions for viticulture. Littlehampton, recently rediscovered as a grapegrowing area, lies on the eastern side of the Adelaide Hills.
Burnished straw in colour. A sweet, floral, exotic fragrance of honeysuckle, nectarine and stone-fruits with a hint of marzipan and nashi pear. The intensely fruited palate is juicy and lush with complex flavours of caraway, musk and truffles around a tight mineral core, an excellent texture and long zesty finish.
Henschke is one of the longest established family names in the Barossa and the Australian wine industry. Johann Christian Henschke first planted vines in Keyneton in 1861, producing his first commercial vintage in 1868. The tradition of quality winemaking has passed down through the generations – today seeing Stephen Henschke and his wife, Prue, as winemaker and viticulturist respectively.
