Personalised Henschke Roeslein Barbera 2021 13.5% 750ML

TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Vibrant ruby with garnet hues.

AROMA
Lively aromas of vivid raspberry, red currant, violets and rosehip with notes of anise, milk chocolate and cooking spices.

PALATE
The palate has great energy, with fleshy blueberry, raspberry and red currant, grilled orange peel and bright acidity, driving a long, grainy-tannin finish.

GRAPES/BLEND
100% barbera grown on the Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard, managed with organic and biodynamic practices.

MATURATION
Matured in 100% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 10 months prior to blending and bottling.

VINTAGE NOTES
Average winter rains were followed by even budburst. Frost damage was significant and spring was cloudy with good rains pre-flowering, followed by short bursts of hot weather in late November. The later flowering varieties were impacted by heat at the end of November and strong winds in early December damaged the canopies although the crop remained disease free. January was dry with a burst of heat prior to a perfectly timed rain event at veraison in early February. The lead up to vintage was cool, cloudy and mostly dry with the white varieties showing balanced acidities and good aromatics. After our coolest summer for 19 years, a dry, warm autumn provided near-ideal conditions for ripening in our red varieties. Overall, the wines show great balance and potential for ageing.

CELLARING POTENTIAL: 10+ years.
