Hentley Farm

With Map In Hand, He Created the Beauty and the Beast With a 1954 soil map in hand, Keith Hentsche traced the curves of the land, his vision set on uncovering the story hidden beneath the soil. That story would become Hentley Farm—a meticulously designed wine estate in Barossa Valley—and gave rise to two iconic wines: The Beauty and The Beast. This is a tale where science meets artistry, and where terroir becomes the author of contrasting expressions. Just as in the classic fairytale, Beauty and the Beast embody two halves of a whole, their differences highlighting the depth of their connection. Here, however, the magic lies not in an enchanted castle, but in the earth itself. Planted just 200 meters apart using the same clone, these wines are a masterclass in how terroir shapes flavor. Together, they tell the story of Hentley Farm’s pursuit of excellence—where the land speaks, and those who listen craft something extraordinary
