The Beauty block is grown at the lowest point of the Hentley Farm vineyard, directly on the banks of Greenock Creek. The western aspect results in a shaded morning; the low topographical position is where cool air settles; and the large gum trees surrounding the block create significant barriers to air movement, so cool air remains present well into the morning. This results in early morning air temperatures 2-3 degrees cooler than the higher shiraz locks, and a 2-3 week later harves Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cured meat, and freshly baked bread dominate the nose. These notes translate to the palate, and further complexity is created by supporting flavours of plum and Turkish Delight. Soft tannins are well integrated and complimented by a fine, even bead. Balanced acidity provides great length, freshness and a dry finish.
