Winemaker's Bio
Since 2008, Head Winemaker Andrew Quin has influenced the evolution of the vineyard with a focus on crafting modern wines from traditional Barossa varieties. With his firm conviction that the best wines are made in the vineyard, it is no surprise that winemaker Andrew Quin’s was drawn to Hentley Farm after returning home from vintages in France and the USA.
His original field of study was, in fact, horticulture and for Andrew, winemaking provides the perfect opportunity to combine his scientific and technical knowledge with his artistic flair in the pursuit of ultimate quality.
Andrews approach to these wines is about thoughtful and minimal winemaking intervention – to craft wines of balance, power and elegance with the distinct Hentley Farm hallmarks of vibrancy, velvet silky tannins and intense flavour richness. The wines show varietal diversity and are attractive and approachable when young, with the depth and structure for extended cellaring.
