"A bit more aromatic and vibrant than the 2015, the 2016 Henry's Seven is a
blend of 66% Shiraz, 15% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and 9% Viognier.
Medium-bodied, plump and mouthwatering, it showcases attractive notes of
cherries and stone fruit, with just a touch of savory black olive. It should
drink well for at least 6-7 years." 91/100, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
"Spice, tea and dried herb notes make for an aromatic opening to the core of
tight berry, cherry and cranberry relish flavors. Detailed and aromatic through
to the end, which shows precision and elegance." 92/100, Wine Spectator
This Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Viognier blend is a tribute to Henry Evans who
planted the first vineyard of seven acres at Keyneton in 1853. He quickly
developed a reputation for producing the best wines in the southern colony.
Following Henry’s death in 1868, his widow Sarah exercised her temperance
convictions by closing the winery and uprooting all the winegrapes. This 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 Henschke estate practises biodynamic farming; "I would like to see the next
generation inherit a fertile and sustainable land. Using the principles of
biodynamics and organics enables me to create the best environment for plant
growth."
