Henschke Wine
The Henschke family has
been making wine since
Johann Christian Henschke
planted a small vineyard on
his diverse farming property
at Keyneton in 1862. He was
one of many Silesians who
had fled their homeland in
search of religious freedom,
and he arrived from Kutschlau
in 1841. The wine was initially
intended for consumption by
family and friends, but with
the first commercial release in
1868, believed to be
principally riesling and shiraz,
the wheels were set in motion
for greater things to come.
Each generation has built
upon the foundations of
Henschke. In more recent
times, fourth-generation Cyril
Henschke pioneered varietal
and single-vineyard wines at
a time when blended wines
and fortifieds were in vogue.
His greatest legacy was the
creation of Hill of Grace and
Mount Edelstone in the 1950s,
shiraz wines from Eden Valley
that have captured the red
wine world’s imagination.
Today, it is fifth-generation
Stephen Henschke and his
wife Prue at the helm,
passionately upholding the
family name and reputation.
This highly regarded team has
won a multitude of awards
that recognise the
complementary nature of
their roles - Stephen as
winemaker and Prue as
viticulturist. One of the most
notable things about the
couple is their ability to keep
devotees fascinated. While
they are perhaps most
famous for Hill of Grace and
Mount Edelstone, they
continue to surprise with their
new styles and techniques.
Prue’s meticulous, innovative
viticultural management has
seen not only new life
breathed into the venerable
vines, but also a new direction
given to white winemaking
that their forebears could
never have imagined.
Henschke boasts a strong
portfolio, with a focus on ultra-
premium single-vineyard
wines. They maintain
their ‘Exceptional wines from
outstanding vineyards’ by
sourcing additional fruit from
growers of excellence, from
the Eden Valley, Barossa
Valley and the Adelaide Hills
regions.
Stephen and Prue are well
recognised for their complete
integration of vineyard and
winery, and have received
many accolades. Most
recently, Henschke was
named 2011 Winery of the
Year at the inaugural The
Age/Sydney Morning Herald
Good Wine Guide awards.
The sixth generation, Johann,
Justine and Andreas, are all
actively involved in helping
Stephen and Prue explore
new and exciting
developments. Among these
are organic and biodynamic
principles that will enrich the
land of their forebears and
strengthen a future in
winemaking for the
generations to come. |
