He is a highly respected Australian winemaker ...Hewitson has worked at wineries in Australia, France, Italy and Oregon. Hewitson then moved to the U.S. where he earned a Masters from UC-Davis. On his return home, Dean brought a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and a driving passion to produce wines not only from Barossa Valley but also from the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills regions.\\n\\nHewitson fundamentally believes great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and the season in which they are grown. With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region within the Barossa zone of South Australia, particularly associated with powerful red wines from the red wine grape variety Shiraz. A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\\n\\nShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\\n\\nSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \\n\\nWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":157}{\"1\":159,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":177}{\"1\":289,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":304}{\"1\":620,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":634}{\"1\":980,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1006}{\"1\":1717,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1742}{\"1\":2086,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2103}{\"1\":3792,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":3793,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3808}{\"1\":4401,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":4402}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is a graceful wine with a silky texture, red and purple fruits foremost; the tannins superfine, the finish lingering, the aftertaste fresh.

In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills.

With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity.

It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region within the Barossa zone of South Australia, particularly associated with powerful red wines from the red wine grape variety Shiraz. A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hewitson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46804596621544,"sku":"HEW-MVMSH21-7506","price":159.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/HewitsonMotherVineMonopoleShiraz2021.jpg?v=1758005175"},{"product_id":"henschke-keyneton-euphonium-shiraz-cabernet-franc-merlot-2022-biodynamic-barossa-valley-south-australia","title":"Henschke Keyneton Euphonium Shiraz Cabernet Franc Merlot 2022 (Biodynamic) ~ Barossa Valley, South Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":13369344},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;96\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review \\n93\/100 The Wine Front \\n95\/100 Aaron Brasher, The Real Review (2019 vintage) \\n95\/100 Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal (2019 vintage)\\n95\/100 Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast (2019 vintage)\\n94\/100 Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion (2019 vintage) \\n95\/100 James Suckling (2019 vintage) \\n94\/100 Ken Gargette, Wine Pilot (2019 vintage) \\n94\/100 Ray Jordan (2019 vintage) \\n93\/100 CellarTracker (2019 vintage) \\n92\/100 The Wine Front (2019 vintage) \\n97\/100 Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal (2018 vintage)\\n95\/100 Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion (2018 vintage)\\n95\/100 Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot (2018 vintage)\\n95\/100 Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot (2018 vintage)\\n95\/100 James Suckling (2018 vintage)\\n95\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2018 vintage)\\n94\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review (2018 vintage)\\n93\/100 Decanter (2018 vintage)\\n92\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (2018 vintage)\\n91\/100 Wine Spectator (2018 vintage)\\n90\/100 The Wine Front (2018 vintage)\\n\\nSilver - Royal Adelaide Wine Show \\nTop Gold - Barossa Wine Show (2019 vintage) \\nSilver - Barossa Wine Show (2018 vintage)\\nSilver - The TEXSOM International Wine Awards (2017 vintage)\\nSilver - International Wine Awards (2016 vintage)\\nSilver - The TEXSOM International Wine Awards (2016 vintage)\\n\\nHalliday Wine Companion Wine Awards 2021 'Winery of the Year'\\n\\nBiodynamic\\n\\nStuart Knox, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Deep ruby red from core to rim.

I know from some of the other Henschke reds that the fruit actually rises above the structure with a decant (or time in the glass), so this is recommended in order to catch the beautiful 2018 fruit on offer here.

Critic James Halliday describes Henschke's \\\u0026quot;Hill of Grace\\\u0026quot; as \\\u0026quot;second only to Penfolds Grange as Australia's red wine icon\\\u0026quot;. The winery has gone from strength to strength over the past three decades under the guidance of winemaker Stephen and viticulturist Prue Henschke. The red wines fully capitalize on the very old, low-yielding, high-quality vines and are superbly made with sensitive but positive use of new small oak. All Henschke vineyards are farmed biodynamically.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Aaron Brasher, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Ken Gargette, Wine Pilot \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Ray Jordan \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Royal Adelaide Wine Show \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Gold - Barossa Wine Show \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Barossa Wine Show \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - The TEXSOM International Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - International Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - The TEXSOM International Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalliday Wine Companion Wine Awards 2021 'Winery of the Year'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBiodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuart Knox, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Deep ruby red from core to rim.

The mid-palate is gently reductive but in a controlled fashion, not impinging on the succulence. The tannins are sinuous and long limbed, directing the effusive flow of flavor. This is an exceptional release of a cuvee that is often solid, if seldom at this elevated level. The best I can recall.

Critic James Halliday describes Henschke's \"Hill of Grace\" as \"second only to Penfolds Grange as Australia's red wine icon\". The winery has gone from strength to strength over the past three decades under the guidance of winemaker Stephen and viticulturist Prue Henschke. The red wines fully capitalize on the very old, low-yielding, high-quality vines and are superbly made with sensitive but positive use of new small oak. All Henschke vineyards are farmed biodynamically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henschke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48236421513448,"sku":"HENS-KESH-CS22-7506","price":96.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/HenschkeKeynetonEuphoniumShirazCabernetFrancMerlot2020_Biodynamic_BarossaValley_SouthAustralia_dcc2e923-2fb8-43fb-bd90-06057becbb64.jpg?v=1779942355"},{"product_id":"jj-hahn-reginald-shiraz-cabernet-2024-barossa-valley-australia","title":"JJ Hahn \"Reginald\" Shiraz Cabernet 2024 ~ Barossa Valley, Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- x-tinymce\/html --\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Amanda Yallop, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Tyson Tyler, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Jane Faulker, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Huon Hooke, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmanda Yallop, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Purple\/red to brick colour.
