The Beast Shiraz

The Beast Shiraz

The Beast Shiraz all begins in the Terra Rossa soils, high above the banks of Greenock Creek.

Where The Beast Begins

From a single block on an eastern-facing slope overlooking the Hentley Farm Cellar Door and Winery, The Beast takes root. This elevated site, defined by shallow soils and shattered limestone, yields small, intensely flavoured berries—concentration forged through struggle.

Meticulously crafted, The Beast is basket pressed and handled with intent. Every step, from vine to bottle, is guided by a commitment to express the distinctive character of this remarkable site.

Dark forest berries, mineral tones, and savoury spice define the hallmarks of this block, brought together in a wine that is bold, structured, and expressive. A true single block expression, The Beast is shaped by nature, refined by time, and deserving of its name.

The Beast Has The Bones To Age

Beneath its bold structure lies the framework for graceful ageing: deep-set tannins, concentrated dark fruit, and a thread of spice that slowly unfurls with time. As the years pass, primary notes of forest berries give way to more savoury complexity—earth, leather, and warm spice—revealing the full character of its single block origin. Whether cellared for five years or fifteen, The Beast continues to reward patience with nuance, length, and unmistakable presence.

A Table Built for The Beast

The Beast Shiraz isn’t just poured—it’s met with flavour that stands its ground. At Hentley Farm Restaurant, Executive Chef Kyle Johns creates dishes that echo the wine’s intensity—layered, textural, and grounded in the seasons. Every plate is designed to elevate the wine and be elevated by it.

There’s no better way to experience The Beast than at the table it was meant for.
