Hentley Farm The Beauty Shiraz 2023

Product Description:
Silk over steel—Barossa Shiraz with aromatic lift and refined power.

Hentley Farm’s 2023 The Beauty Shiraz is Barossa elegance bottled. Grown on the estate’s coolest block along Greenock Creek, this is the stylistic counterpoint to The Beast—a co-fermented blend of 97% Shiraz and 3% Viognier built for finesse, not force. White florals, blueberry and white pepper define the nose, while soft tannins and seamlessly integrated oak bring polish and poise to the palate.

The 2023 vintage delivered slow ripening and vibrant acidity—ideal for this style. Fermentation includes a third of the wine off skins in French oak to enhance suppleness. The result? A wine that leads with lifted perfume and finishes with restraint, where blue and red fruits play across a base of sage, cocoa and peaty earth. This is not your typical Barossa blockbuster—it’s detailed, textural, and quietly expressive.

Drink now for its vibrant youth or cellar for 12–20 years to let the complexity unfold. Best with duck, lamb, or grilled eggplant with miso.
