SHIRAZ

2005 HENTLEY FARM SHIRAZ $34.95

REGION: BAROSSA VALLEY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Hentley Farm is a boutique Barossa Valley winery owned by Alison and Keith Hentschke. Situated among rolling hills on the banks of Greenock Creek at Seppeltsfield, they aspire to make full-bodied, well structured wines with great balance.

The 2005 Hentley Farm is already a multiple trophy winner, having taken out the prize for the BEST WINE OF SHOW at the 2006 MARANANGA (WESTERN BAROSSA) REGIONAL WINE SHOW, no easy feat considering the number of superb wines that eminate from this region. The wine has a dense inky colour in addition to a big, sweet nose of blackberry and kirsch liqueur. The palate offers up blackberry, cherry and some cassis characters. It possesses striking purity as well as fine tannins and is beautifully balanced. Barossa at its best.

"There were only 2000 cases of this terrific wine produced. About 30% new French oak was used. The nose features fantastic blackberry, licorice and violet aromas, and the palate is long and completely satisfying, with fine dry tannins. Excellent value." Lester Jesberg, Winewise – Outstanding

"Medium to full-bodied, redolent with blackberry and satsuma plum fruit, with very good oak integration, balance and length. Drink Now-2025." James Halliday - 95 points

"Vivid deep purple. Rich and concentrated, bright and spicy, robust and flavoursome, this deliciously concentrated Barossa shiraz is full of chocolate and wine-soaked juicy black plums with cedary oak, grunty tannins, cinnamon, liquorice, chocolate and a long, juicy finish. Great find." Sue Courtney, www.wineoftheweek.com

James Halliday listed Hentley Farm as one of 19 Australian wineries which he is inspired by in the May 2007 Australian Wine Business Magazine.
