McHenry Hohnen Winery: Site-Expressive Wines

Founded in 2004 by brother-in-laws Murray McHenry and David Hohnen, McHenry Hohnen Winery is a family-owned establishment rooted in the heart of Margaret River. With a rich history in winemaking dating back to the early 1970s, Murray brings his expertise as a fine wine retailer, while David is recognized as a pioneering winemaker. The winery operates across three distinct family vineyards—Burnside, Calgardup, and Hazel’s—where they implement biodynamic and organic farming practices to create wines that truly reflect their unique terroir.

Commitment to Sustainable Practices

At McHenry Hohnen, minimal intervention is key. The winemaking process utilizes wild yeast, limited sulfur, and avoids filtration, allowing the wines to express their origins fully. Large format oak barrels and concrete fermenters play a crucial role in crafting these distinctive wines.

The team is dedicated to enhancing both their land and winemaking techniques, believing that their best wines are yet to come.

The vineyards are managed with a focus on ecological sustainability, economic viability, and social responsibility. Instead of chemical sprays, natural predators such as insects, birds, and bees are employed. The winery avoids pesticides and synthetic compounds, using cover crops to maintain vine health and prevent soil erosion. Annual composting with cattle manure enriches the soil, while practices like pruning, shoot thinning, leaf pulling, crop thinning, and irrigation ensure optimal grape quality.

Experience the Unique Wines

McHenry Hohnen grows a variety of grapes, including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, and Malbec. These diverse grape varieties contribute to the production of expressive red and white wines that showcase the winery's commitment to quality and authenticity.

The host was knowledgeable and really made us feel welcomed. We enjoyed a variety of wine samples and ended up purchasing several bottles. It is a small tasting room, and we hope their expansion later in the year to a bigger building will feel more welcoming

Two Saturday’s ago we visited Mchenry's on a wine tour. Our server made us all feel so welcome and made our visit a really enjoyable one, she was really friendly and lovely to have a chat with as she took us through some beautiful wines. We really enjoyed the wines we tried and getting to hear more information about how they're created and what was best to pair with each. Would recommend Mchenry's for your next trip to Margaret River, we'll definitely be back!
