TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

From a 40yo vineyard in the Light Pass district of the Barossa Valley, matured in French hogsheads (40% new) for 18 months. Pays homage to the sculpture skills of Julius Henschke, often using marble from a quarry near Angaston for headstones and angels in the Gnadenberg cemetery. This is a striking cabernet reflecting the great vintage and what must be a very special vineyard, for its varietal expression is bell clear, and juicily seductive. James Halliday

Henschke

Stephen and his wife Prue are the fifth generation in the Henschke family, who have been making wine since 1868, and are passionate in keeping the family name, origins and reputation. Henschke is viewed as the best medium-sized red wine producer in Australia and is given a 5-star rating by James Halliday. It has 4 vineyards in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide regions. Many wines produced here are from Shiraz grapes, but there are also wines and blends from Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Franc, Semillon, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Viognier, Pinot Gris and Muscat. Henschke is best known for a Shiraz based wine first produced in the 1958 vintage called 'Hill of Grace'. In 2005, it was classified as "Exceptional", the highest ranking in Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine.
