Henschke

6 May

Henschke is a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.
Only the best of Australia’s best wineries are ranked as a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.

Henschke’s Hill of Grace Shiraz battles it out with Penfolds Grange for the title of Australia’s premier wine. This is an incredible feat for a small-run, single-vineyard wine off ancient vines, competing as it does against an organisation with all the resources in the world (literally). This is the Henschke way. It grows its wines right, and it does everything proper. It follows then that all the Henschke wines have an attention to detail, and a level of quality, that is of note. The most recent 2021 Cyril Henschke Cabenert Sauvignon is such a superb wine that it’s on a quality par with Hill of Grace itself. This is not unusual with the Henschke range of wines. Mount Edelstone Shiraz is another in the Henschke range to routinely vie for top quality billing. In short, the wines of this great Australian wine family live up to the name, and to the reputation, where it counts the most: in the glass.
