"A better environment gives you better wine."
Philosophy
"We aim to manage our vineyards sustainability using a range of practices that are not only ecologically sound, but also economically viable and socially responsible. All our viticultural practices nurture the biodiversity both within the soil microbiology that surrounds the vines and the insects and animals which are attracted to the healthy crops.
McHenry Hohnen's vineyards are managed using 100% biodynamic methods which are designed to improve the vitality and health of the soil.
Biodynamic is similar to organic farming in that both take place without chemicals, but biodynamic farming incorporates ideas about a vineyard as an ecosystem, and also accounting for things such as astrological influences and lunar cycles.
Hazel's Vineyard BDX 2021
Tasting Notes
Sourced from our Hazel’s Vineyard, the fruit for the BDX wine is all grown biodynamically. A Malbec dominant blend (49%) with Cabernet Sauvignon (36%) and Petite Verdot (15%) add complexity and savouriness to balance the fruit power of the Malbec.
A seductive nose of cherry reduction, cocoa beans and freshly picked blueberries, with wild lavender lingering in the background. The palate is voluminous and powerful. Ripe boysenberry and blackcurrant dominate from start to finish. The tannins are silky and long, and persist for eons. Subtle cocoa oak provides the perfect accompaniment. A floral and delicious wine.
