Hentley Farm Clos Otto Shiraz 2021 x 1
97 POINTS, HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION
The 2021 vintage of this wine was an absolute belter and the 2022 carries on in fine form. It’s classic Barossa for sure, all dark plum, blackberry, fruitcake spice and earthy goodness. But there is a beautiful contemporary gloss to the fruit here with fine, ferrous tannins, layers and layers of spice and a bright minerally cadence pushing the wine forward. Power with buoyancy and plenty of cellaring potential = a win all around. Nice one.

97 POINTS, THE REAL REVIEW
Inky at the core, glass-staining ruby at the rim. Ripe mulberry, rose petal and musk aromas. A big boy, loaded with powerful and dense fruit that are remarkable in the power yet sit in a more red than black fruit frame, lifted with subtle florals and sweet spices. An intriguing wine, there is so much complexity and power here but gentle acidity offers a lift that brings a surprising airiness to it. As it fills to the back, dark minerality, meaty and savoury notes build along with a firming of the gravelly tannic grip. Every return to the glass shows another facet to the layers. A wine to be savoured as it unfurls in the glass
Stuart Knox, Real Review
Opulence, complexity and balance all come to mind when thinking about the Clos Otto Shiraz… With vines planted by previous owner Otto Kasper using a cutting from an ageing and secret Shiraz clone, and tended to with almost antique machinery and a well-practiced hand, the Clos Otto vineyard consistency yields super low quantities with ultra rich flavours.
