Henschke's Mount Edelstone Shiraz carries the weight of 150 years of family winemaking. Sage and crushed black pepper give way to brightly spiced plum and wild forest berries on a palate that's both rich and elegantly restrained. Six generations of sustainable viticulture show up in the glass as layered complexity and vibrant spice that doesn't need oak to announce itself.
Winemaker Notes
Very deep crimson in colour. Definitive Mount Edelstone shiraz aromas of sage and crushed black pepper lead to brightly spiced plum, blue and black cherry characters, enveloped by crushed flowering herbs with cedar nuances. Vibrant, wild forest berries are layered beautifully into a rich and elegantly textured palate with fine velvety tannins and lingering notes of black pepper and sage for an extremely long finish.
