2016 Henschke Johann’s Garden – Eden Valley, SA

2016 Henschke Johann’s Garden – A beautifully layered Grenache-Mourvèdre-Shiraz blend that exemplifies Barossa’s elegance. Aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and subtle plum are interwoven with fragrant spice, dried herbs, and gentle floral hints. The palate is silky and complex, with red and dark fruit flavors framed by fine, integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Notes of black pepper, licorice, and earthy undertones add depth, leading to a long, refined, and persistent finish. Approachable now, it will continue to develop gracefully over the next 8–12 years.
