Johann Henschke is the eldest of Stephen and Prue’s three children, and graduated from his winemaking degree in 2005, going on to gain experience in his field throughout the winemaking world. After completing his Masters in Viticulture and Oenology in 2012, Johann returned to Australia to join his family in the business, focusing his attention on their cool and steep-sloped vineyard at Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. He now works alongside his parents, and his sister Justine, who re-joined the business as Marketing and Public Relations Manager in 2015. Justine also spent time gaining experience overseas in both wine and luxury goods marketing. Their younger brother Andreas works as an engineer, and perhaps one day will join his siblings in the running of the business.
Tasting notes:
Deep ruby with ruby hues. Spicy, complex and dark fruited aromas of blackberry, dark red plum and blueberry, with sage, bay leaf, thyme, anise, black pepper, nutmeg and cedar. A rich, plush and beautifully integrated palate offers layers of spicy dark fruits, pepper, sage, musk and clove, balanced by bright acidity, excellent depth and long and elegant fine, velvety tannins.
