McHenry Hohnen's Tiger Country is a blend of 45% Tempranillo, 35% Petit Verdot and 30% Graciano. This is a radically different blend than the preceeding 2006 vintage which blended a larger proportion of Tempranillo with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The resulting wine has great fruit purity underpinned with fine tannins and olive/herbal notes. Vineyard management embraces sustainable 'Old School' practices that mark a return to time honoured methods used before the advent of modern, large scale agriculture. | |

94 Points, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2015'A cosmopolitan, medium-bodied blend of tempranillo, graciano and petit verdot. There is a range of red and black fruit flavours, with spicy cherry to the fore on the mid-palate, and firm but balanced tannins on the finish, presumably contributed by the petit verdot.' |
