McHenry Hohnen
THE McHENRY HOHNEN STORY
David Hohnen is well-known in the wine industry for his development of both the Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay brands, and has forged a formidable reputation as a pioneer and innovator. His latest wine venture is in partnership with his brother-in-law Murray McHenry, his daughter Freya and her partner, winemaker Ryan Walsh. They have planted a wide range of alternative varieties from southern France and Spain which are proving to be well suited to the area. In 2007, David Hohnen received the inaugural Len Evans award for Leadership.
Winemaking is handled by David, his daughter Freya and her partner, Ryan Walsh. The McHenry Hohnen philosophy embraces minimal intervention winemaking, where each wine is a focussed expression of its variety, its growing season and its individual site.
Within the four vineyards, eighteen varieties are cultivated. These reflect the region's heritage with the Bordeaux varieties (Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot). The group also acknowledge the Mediterranean climate of Margaret River with varieties associated with southern France and Spain (Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache, Graciano, Mataro, Shiraz, and Tempranillo).
