Henschke Marble Angel

Henschke Marble Angel

Wine Description

The Barossa has been home to the history and heritage of grapegrowing and winemaking for over five generations. The Barossa was also home to Stephen’s great-uncle Julius Henschke, a famous craftsman, artist and sculptor. Julius was recognized for ornate headstones and angel sculptures at Gnadenberg Cemetery, as well as his most famous work, the inspiring War Memorial on North Terrace in Adelaide. His Angel of Compassion and Duty sculptures are acclaimed across the country. Julius’ craft focused on the most pristine white Angaston marble quarried next to the cabernet sauvignon vineyard at Light Pass, planted on ancient red clay and limestone soil, which brings out exquisite flavor and structure in the wine.

Acclaim
“Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants and mint. Medium- to full-bodied, linear and chewy with some eucalyptus. Herbal. Very cool and linear. 100% cabernet sauvignon. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after another two or three years of bottle age.”
— James Suckling, Oct 2022
"Subtle whiffs of mint and cedar emerge on the nose of the 2019 Marble Angel Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, joined by ample cassis fruit. Richly concentrated and tannic, yet ripe, this full-bodied, long-finishing and cellar-worthy effort would put many international competitors in the same price bracket to shame. It's a terrific, single-vineyard wine for the price of entry to Napa Valley, which ought to give nightmares to many investors there. Now if American consumers can just be convinced to give this a chance....”
