Honouring a proud heritage and creating the future.
The Henschke Cellar Door is housed in the original 1950s Woolstore at the family property in Keyneton and features one of the remaining dry-stone walls of the 1860s Grain Barn, built by first-generation winemaker Johann Christian Henschke, a stonemason and wheelwright by trade, and an early pioneer of South Australia.
Henschke boasts an extensive range, with a focus on exceptional-quality, single-vineyard and small parcel wines, beautifully handcrafted by fifth-generation Stephen and Prue Henschke, from sustainably grown vineyards using organic and biodynamic practices in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. These wines are available for purchase at the Henschke Cellar Door and a number of wine selections are available for tasting.

Henschke Johann's Garden GMS 2015: 80% Grenache, 20% Mataro
Tasting note: Vibrant crimson with garnet hues. Intense and alluring aromas of fresh raspberries, dark plums and cumquat are complemented beautifully by savoury nuances of mace, nutmeg, cracked black pepper, anise and Dutch licorice. The palate is pure and concentrated with ripe raspberry and dark plum flavours balanced by hints of chicory, candied orange and black pepper; complex layers of texture, minerality and fine-grained velvety tannins with an exceptionally long finish.
