Exotically named yet still true to the Henschke family tree, Appolnia was the first wife of the original pioneer Johann Christian – she and two of their children tragically died on their refugee journey to Adelaide in 1841. Dedicated to her, this 100% Shiraz is an 80% Eden Valley to 20% Barossa Valley combo, crafted with a mix of whole bunch and whole berry fermentation. It smells of dark fruits, old gardens, meat pies, wood-fired kitchens and drying herbs – farm life in a bottle. Heart warming in every sense.
