      The 2022 Henschke Stone Jar Tempranillo is a tribute to the Henschke family’s enduring legacy and deep connection to their heritage, paying homage to their grandson, Bosco Nicolas Henschke. This Tempranillo, sourced from the Eden Valley’s rocky soils, showcases the complexity and elegance that the variety can express in Australia. With a deep crimson hue and vibrant red hues, it opens with a complex bouquet of spiced plum, black cherry, and hints of anise, cinnamon, and white pepper. The palate is ethereal and uplifting, with red berries, tamarillo, and savoury elements like dried herbs and brown spice, leading to a long finish framed by fine, peppery tannins. The wine, matured in seasoned French and American oak for seven months, demonstrates balance and poise, while its youthful vibrancy promises great cellaring potential. A true celebration of the Henschke family’s history and their commitment to crafting exceptional wines from unique terroirs.

      Henschke Stone Jar Tempranillo 2022

      It is vibrant purple in colour, with red fruits, currants, dry herbs, a touch of the tomato bush, milk chocolate and roast meats. Good focus here, with very fine, silky tannins. Seamless with impressive length, this is a superb local version of this great Spanish grape. Enjoy now and over the next five to six years.

      Deep ruby core into a rich purple rim. Blood plum, bitumen, and dark spices leap from the glass. Palate is deep and dark with a brooding dark loam and spice intensity.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Complex and Spicy Aromas

      The nose bursts with vibrant aromas of spiced plum, black cherry, and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of anise, cinnamon, white pepper, and musk. These rich scents evolve into more floral and earthy nuances, creating an aromatic profile that is both complex and inviting.

      PALATE
      Lush with Red Fruit and Savoury Undertones

      On the palate, the Stone Jar Tempranillo is full of red berry and tamarillo flavours, supported by a savoury core of dried herbs, brown spice, and a delicate layer of richness. The wine’s medium body is balanced by lively acidity, creating a smooth, elegant mouthfeel.

      FINISH
      Long and Peppery with Fine Tannins

      The finish is long, with fine-grained peppery tannins that add a touch of structure. The wine’s lingering savoury and sweet elements create a lasting, memorable conclusion.
