McHenry Hohnen, Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2009

The Estate

In 2006, wine legend David Hohnen (founder of Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay) and his brother-in-law Murray McHenry launched McHenry Hohnen, a family owned wine producer sourcing grapes from four vineyards around the Margaret River in Australia.   . 

The Mediterranean climate of the Margaret River is perfectly suited to growing varieties associated with southern France and Spain as well reflecting the regions heritage with Bordeaux varieties. Common sense farming philosophies are employed, cultivating a system in which soil and its organisms, along with plants, insects and animals co-exist in a thriving equilibrium.
