Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Aroma

This cool climate wine has lifted aromas of lime, citrus blossom and hints of fen-nel as well as some background cashew notes from the subtle use of oak.

Palate

The wine tastes of candied citrus and pear, with a textural element from lees stirring and background oak characters adding some nice complexity. The palate has good acidity and shows minerality characteristic of Padthaway, with a fine and lingering finish.

Winery Profile

"One of Ten Dark Horses’ by James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2009

Named after the proprietor of the 19th century mail coach service that once ran through their property, Henry’s Drive Vignerons is the wine operation established by Kim Longbottom and her late husband Mark. During the nineteenth century establishment of the farming and wine industries of south eastern South Australia, only horse drawn coaches provided the transit of mail and passengers. The coach drivers reigned supreme on top of their coaches and won the respect and admiration of their passengers. The coach service proprietor in this part of the state was a certain Henry John Hill. His operation drove directly through a property, owned more recently by the Longbottom family.

Today, Kim continues to build the business in honour of Mark; with fine winemaking and brands such as Henry’s Drive, Parson’s Flat, The Trial of John Montford, Dead Letter Office, The Postmistress, The Scarlet Letter, Pillar Box and Morse Code. These wines are testament to Kim and Mark’s dedication to crafting fine wines from Padthaway, one of Australia’s great wine growing regions.

Bright and fresh, with melon, spice and lemony acidity; clean, easy and made for early consumption. Rating 87 - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion (JAN/2012).

Produced by Henry’s Drive, this is an affordable chardonnay from Padthaway. And though Padthaway may not strike the same skinny-jeaned vogue as, say, Yarra Valley for the noblest of noble white grapes, it does have some mojo…

Tastes good! Touch salty, but that helps clip the palate clean from richer stone fruit flavours that eddy through the wine. White pear and peach, floral stuff and honeysuckle all play a part here. It’s fresh and clean, generously textured, simple and finishes a touch hard with acidity. Still, this chilled down and applied liberally to a party or some-such wouldn’t be so bad. It’s got good flavour, some punch-and-cut, delivering more than expected for the price. Rating 87 - Drink by 2017, Mike Bennie, winefront.com.au (SEP/2012).
