"The Beauty Shiraz is Hentley Farm’s elegant expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz and a fitting counterpart to The Beast. Grown on the coolest block of our Seppeltsfield vineyard, beside Greenock Creek, the fruit is co-fermented with a small portion of Viognier to enhance its lifted aromatics. Silky, refined and beautifully composed, The Beauty reveals vibrant fruit, floral detail and fine, supple tannins, capturing the softness and elegance that inspired its name." - Winemaker Notes
"Shiraz co-fermented with a dab of viognier from the western Barossa. Super-deep magenta/crimson with pure macerated plum, blackberry and blueberry fruits, underlying hints of baking spices, sage, citrus blossom, dark chocolate, licorice, panforte, blueberry pie and earth. Full bodied with a velvety travel across the palate, incredibly pure blue and black fruits, the tight, powdery, ferrous-edged tannins and a bright acidity pushing everything along beautifully. Super-impressive release this." - 95 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
"This Barossa Valley Shiraz from the excellent 2024 vintage came from a site on the eastern bank of Greenock Creek. It was co-fermented with a dollop (3%) of Viognier, with 1/3rd of the wine fermented, off skins, in oak. Deep blood red with a garnet edge, the nose exhibits notes of strawberries, dark cherries, black fruits and warm earth. There is good intensity throughout, and the structure is seamless through to a long, lingering finish, with sleek tannins. The wine offers a degree of refinement, not always evident in Barossa Shiraz. Enjoy it over the next twenty years. There really is so much to like here." - 95 Points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
