Established in 1868, Henschke is one of Australia’s oldest wineries. It has earned a reputation for high-quality, handcrafted wines through six generations of family grapegrowing and winemaking tradition in South Australia’s Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. 

This masterclass, led by sixth-generation winemaker Johann Henschke, offers attendees a rare opportunity to explore a selection of the family’s new-release 2021 Eden Valley single-vineyard wines. 

The tasting encompasses two fascinating verticals – Mount Edelstone and Hill of Grace – from extraordinary old-vine sites planted in the 1950s. These Eden Valley Shirazes have become an integral part of Australia’s fine wine history.

As the sixth-generation Henschke winemaker, Johann graduated with a Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology from the University of Adelaide in 2005. 

He has extensive experience in his field, undertaking vintages in Australia, New Zealand, Italy and the USA. In 2012, Johann completed a Master of Viticulture and Oenology in Geisenheim, Germany.
