Henschke Johann's Garden Grenache Mataro Shiraz is a tribute to the early German Silesian pioneers of the Barossa, many of whom carried the first name of Johann. This blend continues all the family traditions and culture, including the traditional winemaking techniques of open-top fermentation used in days gone by, in this Grenache blend. It is produced from low-yielding, old, gnarled, dry-grown bush and trellised vines on limestone soils from selected vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Barossa growers traditionally referred to their vineyard as their ‘garden’, from the German weingarten.

Lifted aromas of fresh Provencal herbs, black pepper and anise, revealing notes of cherry, Satsuma plum, blackberry, mulberry compote and blood orange zest.

The palate is rich and juicy with fleshy raspberry, ripe plum and spiced berry compote creating layers of texture with fine, grainy tannins and linear acidity for a balanced and elegantly long finish. Drinking well in 10years+ and made for roasted red meats with all the trimmings.
