2021 Henry’s Seven, Henschke

Barossa Valley, AustraliaVintage: 2021

In the glass this wine is deep ruby with crimson hues. Fragrant, floral aromas of violets over spicy blackberry, raspberry and blueberry, with underlying spice notes of anise and black pepper, with sage, bay leaf and cedar. The palate is spicy, juicy and concentrated with ripe blueberry and freshly cut strawberry and plum creating layers of flavour with bright acidity and complexity from long, fine, savoury tannins.

This blend is a tribute to Henry Evans, who planted the first vineyard of seven acres at Keyneton in 1853. The blend highlights the historical introduction of southern French and Spanish varieties to South Australia in those early pioneering days and reflects the history, religion and culture of the Barossa.The fruit for this blend is sourced from selected growers in Eden Valley and Barossa Valley, with whom Stephen and Prue have been dealing for decades.

Description

Henschke is one of the world’s greatest wine estates producing some of the most iconic wines available.

Recognised for its rich heritage, innovative spirit and commitment to handcrafting exceptional wines for 150 years. The Henschke family’s grape growing and winemaking tradition span six generations, from outstanding sustainable vineyards in Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills.

Stephen and Prue continue to craft their white wines with a focus on purity, while their red wines have a strong focus on terroir, using traditional winemaking techniques.
“Prue and I are the current ‘keepers of the flame’. Just as earlier generations have done, we want to manage the vineyards and winery so they can be passed on to the next generation in better condition than we inherited them. The last 50 years have been an incredible journey for the Australian wine industry. Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone are arguably the two oldest single vineyard wines produced in this country that tell the wine story of Australia. Our vision would not be complete without the expectation that future generations will uphold and perpetuate our belief that such ancient and unique single-vineyard sites can produce exceptional wines that are prized for their beauty and rarity.”

Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro and Viognier grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning and each parcel of grapes was picked separately. They remained so throughout the vinification process until the final blend was made, except for the Viognier, which was co-fermented with Shiraz. Once in the winery, the best grapes were selected using a sorting table followed by selective technology, before being destemmed and lightly crushed, either into small, concrete, open-top fermenters, or small, stainless steel open-top fermenters. The fermentations were controlled with a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs being performed twice daily, allowing the liquid to be cooled via a heat-exchanger, with air being introduced on the return to the fermenter. After 7-10 days and just prior to reaching dryness, the fermentations were gently pressed to barrel with the primary fermentation finishing in French oak hogsheads (6% new and 94% seasoned) The wine matured for 10 months before blending and bottling.
