Description

From a single block on an eastern-facing slope overlooking the Hentley Farm Cellar Door and Winery, The Beast takes root. This elevated site, defined by shallow soils and shattered limestone, yields small, intensely flavoured berries—concentration forged through struggle.

Meticulously crafted, The Beast is basket pressed and handled with intent. Every step, from vine to bottle, is guided by a commitment to express the distinctive character of this remarkable site.

This big, bold Barossa Shiraz is sourced from a single block high on the hill of the Hentley Farm Estate and sees maturation in French oak, 60% of which is new, for a period of 22 months.

Review
Follows the vinification pattern of Clos Otto, but there the similarity ends. A texture and structure of licorice, graphite, black cherry and a powerful thrust of tannins are in sufficient balance to warrant the time (a minimum of 5 years, better still 25) the wine needs to calm down.

Layers of dark berries, plums, dark chocolate, spice and earth notes combine with layers of persistent tannins.
