      The Stone Jar Tempranillo 2023 pays tribute to the legacy of the Henschke family while celebrating the connection to the land and heritage. Named after Stephen and Prue’s grandson, Bosco Nicolas Henschke, who passed away in 2019, this wine is an emotional and memorable tribute to both the family’s history and the varietal’s Spanish roots. With fruit sourced from the Eden Valley Vineyard, on rocky soils at the source of the North Para River, the tempranillo vines were planted from 2000 onwards, continuing the Henschke family’s deep ties to fine winemaking.

      The name “Stone Jar” harkens back to the German Silesian tradition of storing wine in stone jars, or krugs, and serves as a nod to Stephen’s grandfather, Paul Alfred, who sold wine in these distinctive jars. The Stone Jar Tempranillo showcases the family’s dedication to crafting wines that express the unique terroir of the Eden Valley while also honouring family history and tradition. The 2023 vintage reflects a challenging year with cool weather leading to slow ripening, which allowed for exceptional flavour development and vibrant acidity. This wine epitomises the balance of tradition and modern winemaking.

      Henschke Stone Jar Tempranillo 2023

      Fell in love with this wine a few years ago and I still pine to see every vintage. Vibrant energy red fruits with a raspberry savoury and slightly minerally dried herb influence providing such complementary balance and poise. The middle palate is all that sweet succulence of the variety while the finish is dry savoury. Only older oak has been used to preserve the impeccable fruit flavours.

      — Ray Jordan, Winepilot - 96 Points

      Vibrant ruby and purple tones in the glass. Ripe mulberry, mocha and cured beef aromas. Full bodied with a richness to the flow that offers generosity and appeal but with a firm framework of tannins sitting around it. Dark spices, boudin noir and tar notes add layers, making for a complex and intriguing wine.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Complex Aromatics

      Vibrant, offering a bouquet of spiced plum, raspberry, and black cherry, accented by nuances of anise, cinnamon, white pepper, and musk. These aromas give the wine an immediate depth and intrigue.

      PALATE
      Dynamic and Savoury

      Red berry fruits are elevated with the addition of tamarillo, supported by a savoury core of dried herbs and brown spice. The texture is ethereal yet focused, with an undercurrent of spice that adds to the complexity of the wine.

      FINISH
      Lingering and Fine-Grained

      Fine, peppery tannins that beautifully balance the wine’s fruit-forward nature, leaving an impression of freshness and depth.
