About this wine

Henschke Apple Tree Bench is a Shiraz Cabernet blend that pays tribute to the heritage of this legendary family house. Named for the ‘Apple Tree bench’ on which Barossan forefather Johann Christian Henschke placed farm produce during harvest. A limited release cuvée, grapes are matured in majority old oak for a year and a half prior to bottling.

With pronounced blackcurrant, dried herbs, and jammy plum on the palate, this is a heady and rich blend of exquisite structure and balance. The length is extraordinary. Cellared with care, Apple Tree Bench will age gracefully for at least 20 years.
