Henschke ’Henry’s Seven’ 2009
|
NOTES
The shiraz, grenache, mourvèdre, viognier blend is a tribute to Henry Evans who planted the first vineyard of seven acres at Keyneton in 1853. He quickly developed a reputation for producing the best wines in the southern colony. This blend highlights the historical introduction of southern French and Spanish varieties to South Australia in those early pioneering days and reflects the history, religion and culture of the Barossa.
This 65% Shiraz, 25% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Viognier Barossa blend is a tribute to Henry Evans who planted the first vineyard of seven acres at Keyneton in 1853. He quickly developed a reputation for producing the best wines in the southern colony. Following Henry’s death, his widow Sarah exercised her temperance by closing the winery and uprooting all the winegrapes. The quality of the 2005 vintage is sure to be ranked as one of the best on record, the Shiraz performed brilliantly. "Like a blockbuster novel that's actually pretty well written too!" - Winefront Monthly
TASTING NOTES
Vibrant red with violet hues. Lifted aromas of raspberries, rosehip and plums with hints of kitchen spices and pepper. The palate is lively and complex with red fruits; nicely balanced, a lush texture and chewy tannins.
REVIEWS
Typical bright hue; a delicious medium bodied wine, with its bright red fruits lifted by Viognier; has length built partially around ripe but fine tannins.
Shiraz/Grenache/Viognier
