Keyneton in the Eden Valley region in which the Henschke Cellars are situated, is recognised as one of the great wine producing areas in the country. Mediterranean climate, old vines, high altitude and deep loam soils contribute to the superb quality and longevity of the wines. The Henschke Cellars, which today is operated by the fifth generation of the family, Stephen Henschke, has a proud heritage and philosophy for outstanding quality wines.

Henschke Cellars has a small cellar door catering for a limited number of visitors, larger groups please phone prior to arrival.

Heathvale wines reflect the unique piece of land that William Heath selected as his own all those years ago. The Eden Valley region is higher and therefore cooler, and viticulturally later than the Barossa Valley floor. This provides an ideal climate for full varietal flavour and colour development, whilst maintaining a unique balance in the grape's natural sugar and acidity without agressive tannins forming.

The grapes are hand picked only when sugar and acidity, colour and flavour, are at an optimum balance. Heathvale wines reflect vintage and seasonal variation but are strongly regional in character - rich in flavour, well structured and balanced with an understated elegance.

We are happy to welcome anyone interested in wine who wishes to visit us and taste the current Heathvale wines. Appointments are required so please contact us for directions and to make arrangements for your visit.

After several years of visiting the Barossa and falling in love with its people, its history and its wines, long time Buderim residents Trevor and Marilyn Harch, backed up their love affair with this magical region by purchasing the historic Tanunda Cellars bottle shop in the late 90s. A venue they are still proud owners of today, ensuring the old store remains the regions pre-eminent source of great Barossa wines. Trevor expanded this wine connection by also getting involved in both wholesale and retail liquor sales in Queensland. The fire in his belly was well and truly burning and was fuelled by many great Barossa wines. Trevor took it upon himself to become an unofficial spokesman for the Barossa and spent the following decade bringing the Barossa to Queensland, showcasing and supporting boutique Barossa wineries wherever possible through his retail and wholesale avenues. He even opened Brisbane’s premiere wine bar, which he called Bar Barossa of course! Never shy of a bit of hard work, throughout all of this Trevor was also overseeing his well established avocado and persimmon farm, whilst running the Sunshine Coast’s largest construction company as co-founder and Managing Director. As no stranger to the wine industry and no stranger to growing fruit, the next logical step was to move into growing grapes and have a go a producing his own wine. In 2007 Trevor jumped on an opportunity to purchase an established vineyard in Eden Valleys Keyneton with a view to retiring down to this gorgeous corner of the world one day with Marilyn. Marilyn Barrell TastingThe property, a working vineyard for over a century, was then producing Riesling and Shiraz grapes, boasting what is thought to be some of the oldest Riesling vines in Australia, planted back in 1896, alongside Shiraz vines dating back to 1927. Following his first 2008 vintage of a tiny 37 dozen Jack Harrison Shiraz (just to see what he had), Trevor’s excitement only grew when the exceptional quality of the wine spoke for itself. The vineyard has since grown to include the neighbouring block, giving a total of 16 hectares of prime grape growing land planted out with approximately 40 acres of vines; including new varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir which have all been planted with tender care and big aspirations. It quickly became clear that making wines which had an ability to over-deliver on expectations gave Trevor an enormous sense of satisfaction. It was soon time to clear out all his other business distractions to focus completely on this wine making game. With the lure of the land becoming simply too strong to ignore, rather than wait to retire down to their ‘Garden of Eden’ as they call it, Trevor and Marilyn packed up their Buderim lives in 2013 and permanently relocated to the vineyard’s homestead. With retirement still many years off for this hard working farm boy, Trevor has every intention of working his land and nurturing his grapes until he’s 103! With son-in-law Darren Naylor on board (a wine aficionado in his own right with over 10 years industry experience), Trevor can drive the business and focus on his love; the land, while Darren drives the sales, spending half his time based in Buderim and the other half out on the road. As the first-generation and current custodians of this amazing vineyard which is steeped in viticulture history, Trevor’s vision is to carry the Brockenchack name on through future generations of his family – to continue producing premium wines that exceed expectations – and to be revered among the best in the Barossa.

Established in 1850, The Barossa Barn is one of the original properties built in the historic town of Penrice and originally used as an ox/horse barn. The outbuilding which is currently used as the bed and breakfast was also built in the mid to late 1990's, carefully designed to maintain a similar rustic feel of the 1850's. This double story cottage gives you the feeling of yesteryear, yet has been packed with all the modern conveniences for a comfortable and relaxing stay....
