A single vineyard Shiraz, vinified from hand picked fruit grown to a unique property in Valley Eden, meticulously crafted by a family managed winemaking operation at Moculta. The Hartz Barn wineworks have served the local community as a supermarket since 1885, pointedly known locally as the Henschke General Store. Originally settled by Lutherans, Moculta is the site of two ancient churches, Gruenberg and Gnadenberg. The Hartz Barn vineyard is fortuitously positioned not far from Henschke's legendary Mount Edelstone and Hill of Grace.
Hartz Barn's Dennistone Vineyard is planted on choice clones of phylloxera resistant rootstock. Soils are loam over red brown friable clay subsoils, well structured and free draining. Warm to hot summer days and cool evenings facilitate the extended ripening period. The favourable climes combine with a carefully managed regimen of ground moisture monitoring to produce spectacular wines. Fruit is crushed and vinified in open vats over a course of several days, basket pressed and transferred to a mix of French and American oak hogsheads for the completion of malolactic. The finished batches are racked and returned to barrel for a year's maturation before assemblage. Alcohol 14.0%
TASTING NOTES
Deep black plum colour. Aroma of chocolate and berries, black fruits and vanilla oak. The palate offers intense spiced bramble flavours, plums and blackberry, licorice and milled pepper supported by fragrant vanilla/ cocoa oak over a frame of pliant, chewy tannins. Already beautifully integrated in it's youth, General Store is a seriously stylish Shiraz to accompany meats and flavourful savoury recipes.

About the Hartz Barn Winery
About the Hartz Barn Winery»
Hartz Barn is a family operated vineyard winery at Moculta in the Barossa and Eden Valleys
The Barossa is recognised throughout Australia as a vital part of the nation's heritage and is an important wine and tourist region. Explorers and settlers were attracted to the Barossa very soon after the settlement of South Australia in 1836. George Fife Angus conducted a program of assisted immigration that was to have lasting effects on the character of the Barossa. The largest group was German Lutherans who came to South Australia in 1838-1841, seeking to escape religious restrictions in Prussia. This strong German influence is reflected in the immaculate Lutheran Churches spread throughout the Barossa landscape. Along with them, British immigrants arrived to add diversity to the settlements and commence farming, grape growing and winemaking. Hartz Barn»
