An unusually warm late winter prompted early budburst before a severe mid-September frost caused widespread damage. Vine recovery exceeded expectations, while supplementary irrigation helped maintain vine health through the dry season. Warm conditions accelerated ripening in March and harvest concluded in mid-April, the earliest on record. The vintage was rated Excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was harvested on 27 March.

Fragrant aromas of satsuma plum, maraschino cherry and raspberry are layered with tamarillo, dried fig, crushed flowering herbs, white pepper and mace. A vibrant palate of dark berry fruits and red cherry unfolds into dried oregano, bay leaf and cedar, with focused acidity and supple tannins delivering excellent depth and length.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStone Jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone Jar pays tribute to Stephen and Prue Henschke’s grandson, Bosco Nicolas Henschke. The name also recalls Stephen’s grandfather, third-generation winemaker Paul Alfred Henschke, who sold wine to local customers in stone jars, known in the Barossa as “krugs”. Tempranillo’s origins in northern Spain provide a further connection to Bosco’s maternal family and their tradition of winemaking with the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Henschke\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Tempranillo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e From 2000 Onwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic and Biodynamic Practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 March 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.43\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.08 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 Months in 100% Seasoned Oak Hogsheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15+ Years from Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Casey Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45694917050454,"sku":"9248735773","price":52.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5301\/4102\/files\/2025HenschkeStoneJarTempranillo750ml_b575e6e9-ed13-46fd-b356-15dadc8165a0.png?v=1788763670","url":"https:\/\/caseycellars.com.au\/zh\/products\/2025-henschke-stone-jar-tempranillo-750ml","provider":"Casey Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
