Friday, August 11, 2023 - Truly iconic and one of the epic wines of Australia!

Nose of blackfruit and five star spices, core of plums with fine acidity and velvet like tannins.

2018 was a standout vintage in Eden Valley, and this HOG comes from the hallowed single vineyard of the same name dating back to 1860.

Matured in 20% new and 80% seasoned (83% French, 17% American) oak hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.

Thanks to Jodie at the Henschke cellardoor for entertaining us and all our questions,for the passion she showed for the brand, history and wines.. and for 4 iconic 2018 vintage pourings and a total of 13 different wines over two hours.
