Hentley Farm Clos Otto Shiraz 2023 from Hentley Farm in the Barossa Valley is a monumental single-vineyard Shiraz, drawn from Otto Kasper’s low-yielding old clone on red clay soils. It combines lavish fruit density with exceptional elegance, vivid freshness and the structure to cellar confidently.

Glossy satsuma plum, blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry unfold through violets, cinnamon, clove, star anise, dark chocolate and graphite. The palate is deep and compact, layering rich fruit with a bright mineral line, finely judged French oak and superfine tannins. Hentley Farm Clos Otto Shiraz 2023 is powerful but beautifully proportioned.

Decant Hentley Farm Clos Otto Shiraz 2023 for dry-aged rib-eye, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, venison loin or truffle-laced beef pie. Its concentration and powerful tannin frame demand serious food now, while its poise and length make it an outstanding Barossa Shiraz to lay down for a decade or more.
