Description
"From nose to mouth, this is all about the balance of sweet fruit and savoury notes – plum, beery pie and vanilla but also some meaty pan juices to breath in, then beautiful plush fruit on the front palate, fresh acidity and tarry notes on the back palate. Some food-friendly tannins would marry happily with slow cooked beef cheeks" (John Lehmann, The Australian)..
5 Red Star Halliday-rated Hentley Farm was established in 1997 by Keith and Alison Hentschke, who had a single vision to craft exceptional single estate wines from the Barossa Valley. Using an old soil map from the 1950’s to strategically locate the best parcels of land, they discovered a mixed farming property set among the rolling hills on the banks of Greenock Creek in Barossa’s west, with remarkable diversity of soil types, and varying aspects and altitudes.In 2004, the estate was extended with the purchase of a neighbouring vineyard which shared the treasured natural amphitheatre of rolling hills that surround Hentley Farm and resultant diversity of site. This single estate of 150 acres is Hentley Farm.
