Buy OnlineThe Barossa has been home to the history and heritage of grapegrowing and winemaking for over five generations. The Barossa was also home to Stephen’s great-uncle Julius Henschke, a famous craftsman, artist and sculptor. Julius was recognised for his ornate headstones and angel sculptures at Gnadenberg Cemetery, as well as his most famous work, the inspiring War Memorial on North Terrace in Adelaide. The Angel of Compassion and Duty sculptures are acclaimed across the country. His craft focused on the most pristine white Angaston marble quarried next to the cabernet sauvignon vineyard at Light Pass, planted on ancient red clay and limestone soil, which brings out exquisite flavour and structure in the wine.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Deep crimson in colour. Classic cabernet aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and violet are complemented by herbaceous notes of crushed flowering herbs and fresh oregano, supported by hints of red currant, anise and Dutch chocolate. The elegantly structured palate offers red currant, cassis and blue and black berry fruit flavours, woven with beautifully balanced fine-grained tannins and a creamy texture to create a savoury finish of great depth and length."

"Cabernet when it’s at its best brings power, structure and length but most importantly, it also brings flow. It makes the wine seem relaxed and enjoyable, even as it lays down the law. This Cabernet Sauvignon from Henschke mines that vein. It has a juicy, even-handed flow to it, it brings blackcurrant, peppercorn, tobacco and mint flavours to the table, and it makes its long finish seem effortless. In shot, we’re in elite territory here."
