Our Story

McHenry Hohnen Vintners is a family owned wine producer sourcing grapes from four vineyards owned within the families of David Hohnen and his brother-in-law Murray McHenry.

Winemaking is handled by David, his daughter Freya and her partner, Ryan Walsh. The McH philosophy embraces minimal intervention winemaking, where each wine is a focussed expression of its variety, its growing season and its individual site.

Within the four vineyards, eighteen varieties are cultivated. These reflect the region's heritage with the Bordeaux varieties (semillon, sauvignon blanc, malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot).

We also acknowledge the Mediterranean climate of Margaret River with varieties associated with southern France and Spain (marsanne, roussanne, grenache, graciano, mataro, shiraz, tempranillo).

Add chardonnay, viognier, barbera, sangiovese and zinfandel and we have the foundations from which we select fruit for the McHenry Hohnen range of wines.

Viticultural practices embrace old-fashioned 'common sense' farming philosophies, cultivating a system in which the soil and its organisms, along with plants, insects and animals, co-exist in a thriving equilibrium. Click on the link to download more detailed information.
