"80/20% grenache/mataro, sourced from the survivor vines (70+ years old) from established Henschke growers. A wonderfully composed blend showing fragrant fruit notes of ripe satsuma plum, blueberry and cranberry with hints of Asian spice, redcurrant jelly, gingerbread, earth and a light whiff of orange blossom. Medium bodied, with the trademark Henschke detail and clarity of fruit; everything in its place, nothing clashing, with bright lacy acidity, gentle fine sandy tannin grip and pure easy-drinking, savoury-edged flow."

"The Shiraz component has gone from this blend, celebrating its 25th anniversary this vintage, so it is now 80% Grenache and 20% Mataro, made from Barossa Survivor Vines of 70 years or older. Big and bold spiced cherries and sweet baking spices alongside, wild raspberry and floral talcum powder. Sappy, chalky tannins, bright acidity and a long, supple finish. Named for the early Barossa Lutheran grape growers, many of whom were called Johann, who tended their weingartens."
