Australian Wine Legends Stephen & Prue Henschke Share the Story of their Famed Wines & Vines
In this episode of The Vint Podcast, host Billy Galanko sits down with Stephen and Prue Henschke of Henschke —one of the most iconic family-run wineries in the world.
This in-depth conversation covers the legacy of the Hill of Grace vineyard, the role of old vines in shaping wine texture and complexity, and the unique terroir of Eden Valley. Prue shares her insights as viticulturist, including the nuances of managing vines over 150 years old, the effects of soil and canopy management, and the importance of preserving vine genetics. Stephen discusses their restrained and precise winemaking approach, including the use of submerged cap fermentation and minimal oak influence to highlight site expression.
Topics explored include:
- The history of Henschke and the sixth-generation legacy
- The significance of old vines and the Barossa Old Vine Charter
- How Eden Valley’s altitude and soils shape their Riesling and Shiraz
- A technical breakdown of Mount Edelstone, Hill of Grace, and Wheelwright vineyards
- Reflections on sustainability, native cover crops, and dry farming
- The story behind experimental bottlings like Hill of Roses, Nebbiolo, and Tempranillo
- Perspectives on global brand prestige and Australian wine’s evolving reputation
