DESCRIPTION
Henschke Wheelwright Shiraz 2019 is sourced from The Wheelwright vineyard planted in 1968 at an altitude of 470m in the Eden Valley, cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices, on sandy-loam soils with gravel, rock, and hints of clay. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels (10% new, 90% seasoned, French and American). It features 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.64, and 5.9 g/L of total acidity. Aging potential of over 30 years.
On the nose, refined aromas of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, violet, and vanilla blossom, with notes of anise, bay leaf, cedar, and black pepper. On the palate, ample and structured, supported by a lively acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent. Pairs with a lamb in a sweet spice crust or a dry-aged ribeye steak.
