Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz

The Beast, a fitting partner to the Beauty, is a wine of intensity, strength, and unrelenting character. Sourced from a single block perched high on the estate’s peak, this site is defined by its shallow soils and long exposure to sunlight—conditions that produce small, thick-skinned berries bursting with power. The result is a wine of immense concentration and brooding richness, a bold expression of site and season.

Dark, muscular, and deeply structured, The Beast carries layers of black fruit, spice, and earth, underpinned by firm yet refined tannins that grip and release with finesse. It’s a wine that doesn’t shy away from its name—robust and commanding, yet balanced by a thread of complexity that reveals itself over time. Decant generously or cellar for a decade: either way, this is a wine that makes its presence known.
