DESCRIPTION
Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2021 is sourced from the mythical Mount Edelstone vineyard, with centenarian vines planted in 1912, cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices. The deep, clay-rich soils, originating from a 500-million-year-old geology, ensure an exceptional concentration of aromas despite low yields. Aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels (including 9% new wood). It features 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.51, and 6.0 g/L of total acidity. The 2021 vintage is considered one of the best of the decade, with an aging potential of over 30 years.
On the nose, complex and refined, blending plum, black cherry, blueberry, garrigue, and spicy nuances of white, black, and green pepper. On the palate, ample, structured, and elegant, with expressive fruit and spicy layers, supported by a fresh acidity and silky tannins. Long and persistent finish. Pairs with grilled lamb chops or a beef Wellington.
