Winemaker Notes
"A blend of 66% Chardonnay (fermented in oak barrels), 20% Sauvignon Blanc, and 14% Verdelho, the excellent 2006 White displays notes of honeyed grapefruit, lemon blossom, and a hint of orange rind in a medium-bodied, fruit-driven, lively, fresh style."

Named after the proprietor of the 19th century mail coach service which once ran through their property, the Longbottom family has created a new family tradition of winemaking with wines such as: Henry's Drive, Parson's Flat and Pillar Box.
During the nineteenth century establishment of the farming and wine industries of Southeastern Australia, horse-drawn coaches provided the only transportation of mail and passengers. The coach drivers reigned supreme on top of their coaches, and won the respect and admiration of their passengers. The coach service proprietor in this part of the state, was a certain Mr. Henry John Hill. His operation drove directly through a property owned more recently by three generations of the Longbottom family of Padthaway. Routes were known as Drives, thus the family's wine business is today known as Henry's Drive.
