Johann Christian Henschke first planted vines in Keyneton in 1861, producing his first commercial vintage in 1868.

Magpie Estate is a joint venture, which began in 1993, with the English wine merchant Noel Young. Noel who is based in Cambridge, U.K. has a passion for the Rhone varieties that matches my own. Most of the wines are sold into the English market with smaller parcels kept for Australia. The grapes only partly come from Veritas vineyards and this allows me to buy from further a field. Noel also likes more new oak than you will find in Veritas wines. Noel visits Australia twice per year and together...

The grapes used to make this classic wine were selectively harvested from our family's 6 rows of 73 year old Grenache vines. They were hand picked when very ripe to enhance the flavour and body of the wine, which shows an intense aroma of ripe berries with pepper and earthy overtones. The palate is rich and spicy, with a long soft finish. With correct cellaring this wine will age gracefully over the next 5 years. Only 400 dozen produced.

Very ripe, jammy Grenache fruit on the nose. Very distinctive. Flavour ripe and spicy. The palate has plenty of soft tannin with a slightly chewy edge to it. The flavour was really far too strong for the food. The pepper in the pâté accentuated the tannins but the wine still came across as a pretty good wine. Although the combination may not have been great, the food made the wine look quite impressive.

Grenache is the main grape in many Rhone blends and most Cotes du Rhone and Chateaunuef-du-pape. It's a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of strawberry and raspberry. While not prone to producing particularly rich or complex wines In France, Grenache is one of the world's most widely planted grapes producing unique expression where ever it is planted. It is particularly common in Spain, as Garnacha, and Sardinia, as Canonnau,

"Old Vine Grenache is made from the oldest Grenache vineyard on the Kalleske farm, planted in 1935. The grapes are entirely dry-grown ensuring intensely flavoured fruit. Fermentation is warm in open-top fermenters with gentle hand pumpovers twice daily. After basket pressing the wine is matured in seasoned hogsheads prior to bottling. An intense, rich and robust Barossa Grenache with plenty of exotic flavours, a layered palate, harmonious balance and solid structure...."
