Henschke Johann’s Garden Grenache-Mataro-Shiraz, Barossa Valley 2019 vg £88.00
Named as a tribute to the early German Silesian pioneers of the Barossa, many of whom carried the first name of
Johann. Barossa growers traditionally referred to their vineyard as their ‘garden’, from the German Weingarten.
Their traditions & culture have survived to this day, including the winemaking techniques used in this Grenache-led
blend. It is produced from low-yielding, dry-farmed parcels of Grenache, Mataro & Shiraz. A combination of gnarly
old bush vines & trellised vines on limestone soils from selected Barossa Valley vineyards. Bright, lifted aromas of
redcurrant, rosehip & raspberry develop into concentrated baked plum pudding with spicy notes. The soft, luscious
palate is complemented by complex flavours of spiced berry compote, raspberry & red liquorice. An elegant style
with fine, velvety tannins & balanced acidity. 14.5%

Australian expression of Bulls Blood for almost 50 years. It is a blend of two great varieties, Shiraz, & Mataro
(Mourvèdre). To give more intensity & complexity to the wine, it's made using the Mataro pressings from the fruit
taken from century old Mataro bush vines, grown on the estate just behind the winery. ‘Swaggeringly powerful',
'swaggeringly textured fruit', 'super rich and multi layered' - these are some descriptors enthusiastic Bulls Blood
drinkers have use for this blend. Such flavours & aromas as spicy juicy fruit, hints of chocolate & earthy characters
are prevalent in this wine. Certainly, one to enjoy with a long slow braise of lamb, venison or beef. 14%
