McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Shiraz 2023
McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Shiraz 2023
Japo@McHenry Hohnen: A vibrant, spice-laced Shiraz from two distinct southern Margaret River vineyards—showcasing seductive fruit, fine structure, and remarkable finesse.
Tasting Notes
Layering dark fruit and spice with fine, flowing tannins. Certified organic and biodynamic farming, gentle winemaking, and coastal influence come together in a wine of generosity, lift, and structure.
Plaudits
Review of 2022: A gorgeous dark purple hue. Even better, it’s full of florals, pepper, baking spices and brimming with juicy, tangy fruit, and there’s a strong, appealing ironstone/ferrous note. Fuller bodied with silty tannins, a little rustic, yet punches above its weight. 93 Points. James Halliday.

About Winery
About Winery
In the winemaking world, Mark Hohnen is royalty, and his stories are the stuff of legend, spoken in hushed tones. Did he really, for example, introduce the Gin Gin clone to Western Australian by smuggling it (in his socks) from a flight from California?
As the founding chairmen of Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay, Mark’s resume is impressive. Some could say that, along with Dennis Horgan, he has helped, more than most, to put Margaret River on the map.
At McHenry Hohnen, the winemaking baton has been passed onto the affable Japo, who hails from the North East Italy and certainly knows a thing or two about producing beautiful wine.
James Halliday.
The McHenry and Hohnen families have a long history of grape growing and winemaking in Margaret River. They joined forces in '04 to create McHenry Hohnen with the aim of producing wines honest to region, site and variety. Vines have been established on the McHenry, Calgardup Brook and Rocky Road properties, all farmed biodynamically.
