McHenry Hohnen

Murray Henry was born into a family of hoteliers, owning and developing several businesses relating to the food and beverage industry. His experience in the wine business has an impressive pedigree - his brother-in-law David Hohnen started Cape Mentelle. In the 80s they went over to New Zealand and started Cloudy Bay.

The wine in both vineyards was of such high quality that the Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton group came in as shareholders. In the years that followed, he bought several parcels of land in the Margaret River region. Started his winery McHenry Hohnen in 2004, and he secured his position as the premier winemaker in that region, producing single varietal wines from Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

“All of our wine is created from our family-owned vineyards. Each site has been hand-selected for its individual site characteristics and aspect to sunlight." - Murray McHenry
