Plush and pure blackberry and doris plum fruits roll from the glass with hints of fruitcake spice, blackstrap licorice, brandied fruits, vanillin oak, violets, raspberry conserve and distant suggestions of tobacco. Full bodied, with a pitch-perfect velvety flow of fruit, a cascade of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. It is a wine that has been in fine form of late and one that makes for superb drinking in its youth and well into the future.\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 95 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eGrown on the coolest block on the property and co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, the Beauty displays complex lifted aromatics, along with the softness and subtlety befitting a wine of this name.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eHentley Farm was established in 1997 by Keith and Alison Hentschke. 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. He made good use of these years, searching for the perfect site and consulting with local winemakers and viticulturalists, who told him to ‘Head north west (Barossa) and look for the red\/brown soil over limestone’. Using an old soil map from the 1950’s to strategically locate the best parcels of land, they discovered a mixed farming property set among the rolling hills on the banks of Greenock Creek in Barossa’s west, with remarkable diversity of soil types, and varying aspects and altitudes. In 2004, the estate was extended with the purchase of a neighbouring vineyard which shared the treasured natural amphitheatre of rolling hills that surround Hentley Farm and resultant diversity of site. This single estate of 150 acres is Hentley Farm. Winemaker Andrew Quin's approach to their wines is about thoughtful and minimal winemaking intervention –to craft wines of balance, power and elegance, with the distinct Hentley Farm hallmarks of vibrancy, velvet silky tannins, and intense flavour richness.The wines show varietal diversity and are attractive and approachable when young, with the depth and structure for extended cellaring.\u003cstrong\u003e Hentley Farm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrew Quin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47677642637461,"sku":"6133","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260248.jpg?v=1786508715","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/hentley-farm-the-beauty-shiraz-2023","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
