This is an exceptionally dense and concentrated Barossa Shiraz, which nonetheless evinces an elegance and grace which belies that power whilst multiplying its impact. Incredible. Just 12 Barossa Shiraz have scored higher than the 98/100 the 2021 Clos Otto has just received from the Wine Companion. 12 wines across the entire history of the Wine Companion. 5 of those were for various vintages of Penfolds Grange.
Winefront 96/100: 'Gee, it’s some wine. Outstanding.'
The Real Review 98/100: '...retains tension and focus right to almost never-ending finish. A benchmark of Barossa'
James Halliday's Wine Companion 98/100: '...a study in fruit density and grace ... plush fruit and latent power. Some finish, too! Long, sustained and rich, it's a no-brainer'

Keith and Alison Hentschke purchased Hentley Farm in '97, as a mixed farming property with an old vineyard. Keith studied agricultural science at Roseworthy, later adding an MBA. During the '90s he had a senior production role with Orlando before moving on to manage Fabal, one of Australia’s largest vineyard management companies. Establishing a great vineyard like Hentley Farm required all of his knowledge. A total of 38.2ha were planted between ’99 and '05. In ’04 an adjoining 6.5ha vineyard was added, christened Clos Otto, and named for the man (Otto Kasper) who originally developed the land and planted the vineyard.
Cheeky and rich winter warmer. Will hold it's own against a McLaren Vale or Barossa Shiraz.
