Eden Valley Reds › Henry's Seven

When it comes to their time-honoured flagship wines (such as Hill of Grace), the Henschke family doesn't mess around with the formula. A conservative approach ensures consistency of style across the generations. However, the Henschkes are avant-garde with other wines such as this one, which blends shiraz with grenache and viognier to create a fragrant wine with perfumed cherry, floral and spicy fruit, subtle oak influence, and a smooth, harmoniously balanced mouthfeel. A deliciously silky, long-flavoured wine with a soft finish.
