A very good friend of Dean’s challenged him to produce a traditional, full-bodied Barossa Valley wine with the only criteria that it could be drunk young at lunch or dinner and did not stray from my fundamental wine making philosophies i.e. French oak, fine-grained tannins, balance, clear fruit expression etc! Superbly sited vineyards grown on red soil over limestone, the classic terra rossa, provide the fruit for Ned & Henry’s. These vineyards are traditionally grown, low-cropped and produce the necessary flavours and tannins for our wine. After traditional fermentation the wine is pressed into quality French barriques, where the wine finishes fermentation and malo-lactic fermentation. The wine matures in these barrels for a total of about 15 months before racking. While the base wine has always been Shiraz, each year I have blended a small proportion of Mourvédre with the Shiraz, which accentuates the fruit and delivers a greater complexity. The 2010 vintage provided perfect conditions for Ned & Henry's. The colour of the 2010 Ned and Henry's is very deep red with a purple hue. The aroma is distinctively Barossa Valley: black and red, ripe fruits and a dried herb spice influence by Mourvèdre. The seamless class of perfectly ripe fruit and French oak is a stand-out here. The palate structure of Ned and Henry's delivers in every aspect of the brief. The fruit flavours of red-fruits, dark cherry and dark-earth characters are full and concentrated yet soft and supple. The tannins are gentle yet persistent. Ned and Henry's is most definitely full-bodied: Yet the wine has great balance and poise and carries that signature called 'drinkability'.
*What the critics think*
2009 – “Excellent crimson-purple; the aromatic bouquet runs through plum, cherry and a hint of spice heralding a supple, almost velvety, palate; berry fruit the stage, fine tannins and oak the props. Great bargain.” Rating; 95 points James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion - 2012
