Established in 1992 by Kim and the late Mark Longbottom, Henry’s Drive is a very successful Padthaway, South Australian winegrowing operation which has over 100 ha of vineyard in Padthaway and over 12 ha in the McLaren Vale. Henry’s Drive is named after the proprietor of the 19thcentury mail coach service that ran through the property. The wines are what I describe as big, soft and substantial, and have proven very popular with the consumer as well as with judges. The Shiraz wines are mainstays, showing plenty of traditional character, but there is also a more contemporary Syrah bottling. I review the 2015 new release. www.henrysdrive.com The Henry’s Drive wines are distributed by Procure Liquor. www.procureliquor.co.nz
