CELLAR RELEASE 2024

Grenache (59%), Shiraz (37%), Zinfandel (4%)

The addition of Zinfandel to the traditional blend of Grenache and Shiraz is unique to Hentley Farm... With each variety separately crushed, fermented and matured, the Stray Mongrel displays the level of aromatic and flavour complexity you would expect from a blend of such diverse varietals. It is the perfect companion to a variety of culinary delights.

(Due to volume scarcity, a 12-bottle limit applies)

Tasting Notes

The Finer Details

Cellar Release

Generously fruit-forward, the mixed berry compote is balanced by the spicy lift of red peppercorn. Slatey graphite, and nutmeg on the back palate make for a complexly integrated profile. Nicely structured and persistent, the tannins are soft, supple, and tidy.

“Grenache is the senior partner at 59% of the blend and takes the lead with musky red fruited aromas and flavours, and is perhaps responsible for the sweetish impression on the palate. It's ripe and soft and easy to drink, tannin not really making itself too obvious but providing just enough firmness on the finish.” - James Halliday Wine Companion
