About The Wine
Henry's Seven is not seven varieties, or seven wonders of South Australia, but refers to the the first seven acres of vineyard planted at Keyneton in the Eden Valley by Henry Evans back in 1853. Excellent foresight Henry.
This is bright, creamy and luscious blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, with some Viognier co-fermented with the Shiraz. A voluptuous rather than powerful red, with mostly seasoned oak playing no part in the flavour profile.
About Henschke
The first of the great Henschke winemaking family was Johann Christian Henschke, who arrived in Australia in 1841, settled in Krondorf initially and bought land in Keyneton (known locally as North Rhine!) in 1862 to plant vines and make wine. The first Henschke wines sales were back in 1868. They have hardly stopped since...
Now into their sixth generation of winemaking, owners Stephen and Prue have overseen the development of Henschke into one of the world's great wine labels, with perhaps Australia's most famous vineyard, the majestic Hill of Grace.

From The Producer
Deep crimson with magenta hues. Fragrant aromas of red currant, raspberry, blueberry and plum with spicy lifts of bay leaf, sage, black pepper and nutmeg. The juicy supple palate is rich and textured with spicy berry fruits, and well-balanced by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins for a long, elegant finish.
This shiraz, grenache, mataro and 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 of the wine grapes. 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.

Critic Reviews
The colour is a very bright, youthful deep purple and the aromas are brilliantly fresh and vital, dark cherry to dark plum and blackberry laced with spices and a ferrous-ironstone overtone. It's medium to full-bodied, rich and intense, with lovely fleshy texture and supple, fine tannins that are in harmony with the flavour, alcohol and acidity. A polished wine, already drinking remarkably well." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
