Hentley Farm Shiraz 2022
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. Prior to this, Keith acquired impressive credentials studying Agricultural Science and Wine Marketing at Roseworthy College, where he graduated with the prestigious Gramp Hardy Smith Memorial Prize for the college’s most outstanding student, and garnered extensive experience working in the wine industry.
“Hentley Farm does the contemporary take on western Barossa shiraz really well. Here it’s a blend of shiraz blocks across its Seppeltsfield estate. Deeply coloured and flush with macerated plum, boysenberry and black cherry fruits, oodles of spice, some purple floral top notes, chocolate bullets and ironstone. The oak slips back into the fruit like Homer Simpson into a hedge, not wanting to intrude on the star of the show. Plush, balanced and just a joy to drink. Great value.” – 94 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
