Hentley Farm The Stray 2023 is a masterful Barossa Valley blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Zinfandel, showcasing the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking prowess.

Appearance

Deep ruby-red with vibrant crimson hues, displaying excellent clarity and medium viscosity that hints at the wine's textural complexity.

Aroma

The nose opens with enticing layers of ripe red berries, wild strawberries, and dark cherries. Secondary notes of forest floor earthiness mingle with sweet toffee apple, warm clove spice, and herbaceous sage, creating an inviting aromatic profile that evolves beautifully in the glass.

Palate

Medium to full-bodied with supple tannins and bright acidity. The palate mirrors the nose with concentrated red fruit flavours—raspberry, cherry, and cranberry—complemented by subtle oak influence. Hints of white pepper, dried herbs, and a touch of liquorice add complexity, leading to a long, satisfying finish with lingering spice notes.

Pairs With

Roasted lamb with rosemary, grilled sausages, mushroom risotto, aged cheddar, or Mediterranean vegetable dishes. This versatile blend also complements charcuterie boards and wood-fired pizza.
