2018 Henschke Henry's Seven
Bottle (75 cl - Standard)
The Henschke family has been making wine since Johann Christian Henschke planted a small vineyard at Keyneton in 1862. Nowadays the vineyards spread in the rolling hills of Eden Valley and the wet, steep slopes of Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. The vines are over 150 years old, among the oldest in the world. Their philosophy is a holistic one – to ensure a healthy balance between vineyards and the natural landscape.
Barossa Valley Wines
The Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region in Australia associated with powerful Australian Shiraz wines. The best Barossa Valley Shiraz wines have a reputation for being rich and extremely full-bodied with great aging potential. There are of course other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Grenache and Mourvedre that produce great Australian wines. Viognier is also well represented, but mostly in small portions in blends with Shiraz.
Grenache (Garnacha) Wines
Grenache (Garnacha) is a black-skinned French grape variety extensively cultivated in France, Spain, Australia and the United States. In France, Grenache is widely planted in Rhone Valley followed by Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. We will most commonly find it alongside Syrah and Mourvedre to create the classic Southern Rhone GSM wines. Meanwhile in Spain, Garnacha is the second most planted red wine grape variety, surpassed only by Tempranillo.
