Henschke is a critically well-regarded wine estate based in the Eden Valley town of Keyneton, South Australia. Founded in 1862 by Silesian immigrants, Henschke is one of the oldest wine producers in Australia, and remains under the ownership of the family. Winemaker Stephen Henschke, educated at the Geisenheim Institute in Germany, and his viticulturist wife Prue are generally considered to be among the leading wine authorities in the country.
