The wine

Deep crimson with violet hues. Fragrant raspberry, plum and mulberry layered with sage, violet and bay leaf, with floral nuances and vanilla. A rich, supple palate of dark plum.

Henry Seven is a Shiraz-led blend with Grenache, Mataro and a little Viognier, named for the seven men who laid out the town of Keyneton in 1853. The Viognier is co-fermented with the Shiraz rather than blended afterwards, a northern Rhône technique that stabilises colour and lifts the aromatics. Grenache and Mataro are fermented separately.

The producer

Few names in the wine world carry the weight of Henschke. Six generations of one family have tended these Eden Valley slopes since 1868, when Johann Christian Henschke planted his first vines. What began as a settler's small holding is now among the most revered estates in the southern hemisphere.

At its heart stands Hill of Grace. Its ancient, ungrafted Shiraz vines, some rooted here since the 1860s, yield a wine spoken of in the same breath as the world's greatest. Around it lie Mount Edelstone and the home vineyards, each a distinct expression of this cool, high country.

Stephen and Prue Henschke steward the estate today. His hand in the cellar and her pioneering work in the vineyard have carried Henschke to the very summit of Australian wine. Every bottle reflects patience, precision and a deep respect for the land.

To pour a Henschke is to taste continuity. These are wines built for the long cellar and the considered occasion. They reward those who wait, and they belong among the finest a collection can hold.
