Henschke

South Australia | Eden Valley

Our Review

Henschke is the foremost medium-sized wine producer in Australia. Stephen and Prue Henschke have taken a crown jewel and polished it to an even greater brilliance. Year on year they have quietly added labels for single vineyards, single varieties or blends. The wines hail from the Eden Valley (the majority), the Barossa Valley or the Adelaide Hills. There’s a compelling logic and focus – no excursions to McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, etc. Recognition as Winery of the Year in the '21 Companion was arguably long overdue. Prue Henschke was named the inaugural inductee to the James Halliday Hall of Fame in the ’24 Companion. -JAMES HALLIDAY
