Geoff Merrill `Henley` Shiraz 2008 (3 x

  1. Geoff Merrill `Henley` Shiraz 2008 (3 x 750mL), McLaren Vale, SA.

Wine Summary Image

Henley is a strict barrel selection of our best of vintage McLaren Vale Shiraz and is named in honour of Geoff’s Grandfather, who passed away at the ripe old age of 102. This wine is the best of the best of our McLaren Vale Shiraz and only 10 barrel of the Vintage are set aside for Henley.

The 2008 vintage will be remembered for a heatwave and the challenges associated with it. Early indications pointed towards it being one of the great vintages with moderate winter rainfall followed by warmer than average temperatures in spring helping fuel rapid shoot growth. Rainfall in late December and January topped up soil moisture to retain canopy health.

The heatwave interrupted perfect vintage conditions, causing the most condensed harvest in the region’s history. While there were challenges, overall 2008 was considered a great year for quality.

Expert Reviews

“An exceptional offering; the gloriously complex bouquet shows blackberry, mixed berry compote, chocolate tart, charcuterie, cedar and toasted spice characters. It is equally gratifying on the palate, exhibiting outstanding concentration and intensity backed by velvety texture and supple tannins, leading to an extremely long delicious finish. Lavish yet refined and stylish. 5 stars.”

Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)

Winery Tasting Notes

Aromas of coffee, leather and chocolate then revealing black olive tapenade and spiced savoury meats.The palate has a very tight line of acidity keeping it together for the long run. There are wonderfully complex flavours present, and yet to come from this wine of great depth and life.
