Description / Reviews
"The Old Legend celebrates Barossa Grenache, a variety that has shaped the region’s vineyards and winemaking history for more than 150 years. Its place within Hentley Farm’s story was firmly established when the 2021 vintage won the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, a landmark moment for this distinctive wine.
Vibrant in colour and lifted with perfumed aromatics, The Old Legend brings together elegance, complexity and finely layered texture. Pure, poised and beautifully balanced, it is a compelling expression of Barossa Grenache." - Hentley Farm, Winemaker
"A wonderful grenache here, picked earlier, with whole bunch from the E block and 25% whole bunch from C block above the dam. Very perfumed and fragrant with doris plum, mulberry, raspberry and blueberry fruit notes. Cut with ginger spice, Turkish delight, rose petals, cola, dried citrus rind and earth. Savoury and graceful on the palate, with compact yet powdery tannins and a bright, vivid finish that shows plenty of precision and tension." - 94 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
