Geoff Merrill Henley Shiraz 2008
McLaren Vale, Australia
“Henley is named in honour of my Grandfather, who passed away at the ripe old age of 102. This wine is the best of the best of our McLaren Vale Shiraz and only a maximum of 10 barrels of the Vintage are set aside for Henley.” – Geoff Merrill
The colour is deep mahogany with brick red hues with aromas of coffee, leather and chocolate then revealing black olive tapenade and spiced savoury meats. The palate has a very tight line of acidity keeping it together for the long run. There are wonderfully complex flavours present, and yet to come from this wine of great depth and life.

Winery Profile
GEOFF MERRILL WINES – McLaren Vale
Crafting wines under his own label since 1980, Geoff Merrill’s winemaking philosophy has been and always will be, to make wine that allows regional, varietal and vintage expression without excessive winemaker intervention. The McLaren Vale, in coastal South Australia, has unique characteristics – thin soils, limited water, and warm summers that harness the grape’s natural vigor and produce intense flavored fruit. “
