HENSCHKE Marble Angel Vineyard Cabernet, Barossa Valley

Dark red in colour. This wine has a complex nose of dark fruits, blueberry, herbs, spice & pepper. The palate is diverse and fine with dark plum & black fruits all to the fore in this rich & succulent wine that will age well into the future.

Deep magenta purple. Fragrant and enchanting with layers of black and red fruits interwoven with warm baking spices, milk chocolate, pastry crust and toast. Mouth filling mulberry, morello cherry and boysenberry fruits provide a succulent core, extended by super fine, silky tannin. The fruit flows on the palate with impressive length and drive.

This wine comes from a meticulously hand manicured small vineyard, that consistently produces superbly concentrated fruit. The cuttings were taken in the late 1960's from the original Penfold vineyard in Magill, dry reared and planted in 1999. This is a rare viticultural practice, and the bravery has paid off in an equally brave wine. True Barossa Valley guts and glory, this demands to be cellared long term. On the nose, you will find brooding forest berry fruits with layers of dark chocolate and black liquorice aromas, with lingering notes of dark cherries. The palate is exceptional. The concentration builds and this wine delivers as one of the best in its class. A distinct individual character has been developed and is rich and fleshy with generous flavours of raspberry, ripe plum and dark berries that are perfectly balanced with hints of kirsh, vanillin spice and savoury earthiness finishing with luxuriously soft tannins.

Aroma Dark berries, liquorice, mocha and spice with background notes of dark chocolate and smoky oak. Palate Intense and mouth filling, the palate shows blackberry, cocoa and coffee characters with long, balanced tannins tying the structure together, this is a rich and complex wine that will cellar for years to come. Colour Deep red-purple in colour and almost inky in depth.

Deep purple with bright red hue. Aromatic and enticing with layers of fresh mulberries, black cherry, and musk, complexed by notes of Turkish delight and baking spices. Black fruits fill the mouth with expansive length. Nuances of flavour emerge, with chocolate malt supporting the generous fruit. A nerve of bright natural acidity heightens and drives the palate, complemented by finely knit, powdery tannins.

Expressing nuanced notes of black cherry stone, peppery spice and smooth oak textures, this is a true Barossa Shiraz - showing a sense of place and regionality whilst also embracing our distinctive house style we're so proud of. A wine of finely balanced tannins which will age comfortably for many years.

The Glaetzer family have been part of the Barossa winemaking scene since 1888 and now Ben takes over the reigns and produces Shiraz of the utmost intensity and concentration. Named after the ancient Egyptian god Amon-Ra who was the champion of the poor and troubled and was central to personal piety, the temple of Amon-Ra is believed to be the first to plant a vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple. This incarnation is rich, full-bodied and viscous to the palate, yet with sublime oak integration and a balance on the back palate that is quite lifted allowing it to be paired with many meals and a prime candidate for medium to long term cellaring.
