HENSCHKE JOHANN'S GARDEN GRENACHE 750 ml

Description

Discover Henschke Johann's Garden Grenache, a captivating red wine from South Australia's renowned Barossa region. Crafted by a family-owned winery with roots tracing back to 1868, this Grenache embodies a legacy of passion and precision in Australian winemaking.

The name evokes the spirit of the Barossa's early Silesian settlers, countless individuals named Johann who toiled the land and nurtured its potential. Their enduring efforts helped shape one of the world's great wine territories. Here, 'garden' draws from the German 'weingarten,' a term cherished by local growers for their treasured vine plots, infusing this bottle with layers of cultural resonance.

Pour a glass to reveal its medium ruby color laced with purple hints, inviting you into an aromatic journey. The scent unfolds with intensity—think ripe red berries just snipped from the bush, tart rhubarb, ripe cherry, and sweet liquorice, mingled with wild garrigue herbs, fragrant lavender, warm mace, and a whisper of white pepper.

Sip, and the experience deepens with a lush, spicy core bursting from vibrant raspberry and mulberry notes. Fresh acidity cuts through cleanly, while fine, silky tannins carry the flavors into a lingering, graceful close. At 14.5% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, it delivers balanced intensity perfect for savoring solo or sharing.

Critics have taken note: earning 96 points from Dave Brookes in the Halliday Wine Companion and 94 points from Campbell Mattinson at The Wine Front.
