2019 Barossa Wine Auction Catalogue

THE LANGTON’S CLASSIFICATION OF AUSTRALIAN WINE | The honour roll of fine Australian Wine

The Langton’s Classification is known as the paramount ‘form-guide’ to Australia’s finest wines. With the release of the Classification VII in 2018, Barossa again celebrates being the highest represented region in Australia.

28% of wines in the classification are of Barossa origin.

The Henschke family has been making wine since Johann Christian Henschke planted his first vineyard in the Barossa’s Eden Valley in the early 1860s. Today, fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke and his viticulturist wife Prue are recognised around the world for their exceptional quality wines, innovation and sustainability in the vineyard, and in recent years have welcomed next-generation family members Johann and Justine to the family business. Together they continue to craft their white wines with a focus on purity, and their red wines with a strong sense of place, leading the way with organic and biodynamic practices, complemented by traditional winemaking. henschke.com.au

The Angas of Hutton Vale Farm and Henschke families represent the English and German stories of the Barossa’s history, a continuum of the bonds formed at the time of European settlement. Neighbours since the 1860s, a deep connection runs between the families. Ronald Angas planted the iconic Mt Edelstone vineyard, at the beginning of last century, from which the Henschke family sourced their fruit before purchasing the land outright in 1974.
