2021 McHenry Hohnen BDX
A Malbec dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon providing structure and Petit Verdot adding lift, this wine bursts with aromas of cassis and crushed violets. Sweetened spices and mulberries are complemented by more savoury notes of cedar and mocha from maturation in the finest selection of French oak barriques. The palate is voluminous yet focused with a ripe frame of fine tannins giving length to this deliciously fragrant wine.

Critic Reviews
94 pts Ned Goodwin MW, James Suckling – “This is taut, streamlined and tightly knit. Mid-weighted of feel and immensely savory, beaming scents of graphite, dried tobacco, black olive, lilac and currant along a barrel of sage-doused tannins, a glint of precision and class from attack to the long finish A complex wine with a considerable future ahead of it. Best the next day and the one after that given a bit of youthful inscrutability. Super value, too. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”

About McHenry Hohnen
McHenry Hohnen have been growing grapes in the Margaret River wine region since the 1990s. From the start there was a commitment to best practice that nurtured the land while growing unique and regionally specific fruit with strong inner character and personality. Tagging themselves as ‘Sustainable Farmers’ their approach was to treat their vineyards organically from the beginning. Certification came later, but for the Sustainable Farmers it was the only way. This approach has delivered repeated successes – on the palate and in accolades. It is the love of the land and the quest for unique and pure fruit that drives McHenry Hohnen and the team. Now under the sole stewardship of Murray McHenry the drive has intensified to create wines that are supported by a complex and diversified environment, a natural interdependence that creates specificity that cannot be replicated. A focus on single vineyard wines crafted by Head Winemaker Japo Dalli Cani delivers a heightened experience to the consumer, an expression of regionality and purity that underpins the McHenry Hohnen ethos,
