DESCRIPTION
Henschke Wheelwright Shiraz 2021 is sourced from The Wheelwright vineyard, considered one of the most magnificent in Australia, planted in 1968 at an altitude of 470m in the Eden Valley, and cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels (10% new, 90% seasoned, French and American). It features 14.5% alcohol and 6.4 g/L of total acidity. This exceptional vintage offers an aging potential of over 30 years.
On the nose, ripe red and black fruits, with notes of garrigue, black pepper, nutmeg, anise, violets, and lavender. On the palate, ample and structured, supported by a lively acidity and fine, powerful tannins, offering a remarkable balance, a silky texture, and a long, spicy, and refined finish. Pairs with a roasted rack of lamb with herbs or a wild boar stew.
REGION
Eden Valley
Australia
Eden Valley lies within the Barossa region and is recognised as one of the great Riesling regions of the world and one of Australia's first cool climate wine regions. Eden Valley wines stand out for their character, wonderful aromas, elegance, complexity and finesse. With a winemaking history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards in the world. Traditional grape growing continues with a focus on sustainability, as the fifth and sixth generations of the first settlers keep farming their family vineyards.
