Henschke Keyneton Euphonium 2004
harmonious and perfectly pitched cuvée of the three noble red varietals. Firm and generous with its ripe blackberry and licorice flavors, a bit leaner than most Shiraz but basically showing the grape's flavor profile. The structure is seamless and the wine has class! -Winespectator.com, Gorgeous lively fruit characters and down to earth rustic expressions come together like layers of tightly fitting lycra, a triumvirate of the noble shiraz, merlot and cabernet are inextricabely woven into a surface of silken textures and waves of plummyness! -Wine Mag.com.au ...enjoy the video!!!
Thanks,

Henschke Hill of Grace 2013: A Vintage Graced by Faith
Henschke Hill of Grace 2013: A Vintage Graced by Faith
Faith led Johann Christian Henschke, my paternal great-great grandfather, across the world in 1841 to settle in the ranges east of Barossa. Faith guided the hands of Nicolaus Stanitzki, my maternal great-great grandfather, as he nestled the first shiraz vines into the earth of his Eden Valley vineyard. It strengthened the shoulders of the early settlers of Parrot Hill as they raised the walls of a humble Lutheran church called Gnadenberg. Translation: Hill of Grace, church and vineyard would share this name.
Faith has been the compass for custodians of Hill of Grace for over one hundred and fifty-five years. As each new season sweeps across the ranges, transforming bare vines with brushes made of rain and sunlight into canopies coloured with grapes, we nurturers anxiously work and watch and wait for ripening. Nothing is certain until berries shimmer in open-top fermenters.
In 2013, as Prue prepared the Hill of Grace winter vineyard for its annual dance, we faced the prospect of a dry winter, a dry spring and a dry summer. The occasional thunderstorm taunted with heavy skies but didn’t deliver until late in February when desperately needed rains carried the precious yield of our dry-grown vines through to harvest.
The very small and exquisitely beautiful crop of 2013 was hand-picked in the cool mornings of autumn. The wine spent five years in our cellars before release in 2018, a year celebrating 150 years of Henschke family winemaking. Hill of Grace 2013 is a vintage graced by our faith and that of the generations who came before us in the gardens of Eden.
- Stephen Henschke, fifth-generation winemaker.
Henschke Henrys Seven South Australia
Vintage Description The 2006 vintage shaped up as another high quality year but with only average yields in the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills. After a late break in mid June 2005, winter and spring rains were some of the best for years in the lead-up to flowering in early summer. Some varieties, such as riesling and shiraz, suffered more than others from poor set, leading to ?hen and chicken'. While there was some damage in Eden Valley from frost, this had only a minor impact on the overall yield;

People to Know: Stephen Henschke
We sat down with Stephen Henschke in October 2019 and had planned to feature his interview in this issue of WineSpeed, in honor of Australia Day, January 26. His interview means all the more to us now as we’ve learned that several of his vineyards-including some of the oldest pinot noir vines in the Adelaide Hills- the majority of the upcoming vintage, and his winery facility were destroyed in the bush fires engulfing southeastern Australia.
Fifth-generation Stephen Carl Henschke took over as head of the now 152-year-old family winery in 1979, following his father, Cyril Alfred, as winemaker. After receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree at Adelaide University in 1973, Stephen worked at Rothbury Estate winery in the Hunter Valley. In 1975, he spent two years at the Geisenheim Institute of Viticulture and Wine Technology in West Germany, which included internships at wineries in Geisenheim and Baden. On his return to Australia, he enrolled in Wine Science at Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, and began working with his father at the winery. Stephen and his wife Prue (in charge of viticulture at Henschke) were among the first winemakers to plant pinot noir in the cool Adelaide Hills in the early 1980s. In 1988 and 1989 they worked vintages in Burgundy and Bordeaux to research viticulture and winemaking in those regions.
Karen interviewed Stephen Henschke for WineSpeed in October 2019.
