      The Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz 2022 is a remarkable expression of the Barossa's rich history, combining a deep connection to its roots with a modern sensibility that showcases the intensity and complexity of this iconic wine region. Sourced from some of the oldest Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa, this wine embodies the traditions of the Barossa’s German Silesian settlers, with their commitment to craftsmanship and exceptional vineyard practices. The 2022 vintage, with its rich aromatics, precise acidity, and beautifully balanced flavors, delivers a wine that is both captivating now and built for a long life in the cellar.

      From low-yielding, 70-year-old Shiraz vines grown in ancient soils—ranging from terra rossa to red-brown earths—the Tappa Pass Shiraz is a true reflection of its terroir. The wine’s profile, matured for 20 months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak, is elegant yet bold, with complexity built on layers of fruit, spice, and earthy nuances.

      The 2022 vintage marks an exceptional year, one where the resilience of the Barossa’s growers prevailed through challenging climatic conditions, resulting in wines that speak to both power and finesse.

      Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz 2022

      Fruit-driven aromas of blueberries, blackberries, mulberries, red currants, baking spices, cedar and smoked paprika. The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins, a silky texture and a densely packed mid palate that is seamlessly integrated and refined. There is a wonderfully mineral edge to the firm yet generous finish. Will age nicely. Drink or hold.

      — - James Suckling, 94 Points.

      This is the 20th edition of a Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz. It’s become an important and noteworthy part of the Henschke range. It’s a wine that, over the years, has never lacked flavour, though it’s added finesse to its armoury, as this wine shows. Indeed this release ramps up the complexity too. It tastes of twigs, herbs, ripe plums and redcurrant, with mint, black olive and woodsy spice notes woven throughout. There’s a firmness to this wine, and plenty of fruit, though there’s also more than a passing nod to savouriness. As a result it feels complete.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Aromatic Complexity

      Perfumed aromas of dark berries—blueberry, blackberry, and mulberry—intermingle with hints of white pepper, nutmeg, fresh bay leaf, and wild thyme. Subtle notes of cedar add depth to the bouquet, creating a captivating and intricate nose.

      PALATE
      Rich and Layered

      The palate is dark and brooding, with plush layers of mixed berries, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. There is a perfect balance between the fruit’s depth and the wine's vibrant acidity, which brightens the overall profile. Fine, velvety tannins provide a luxurious texture, enhancing the wine's full-bodied structure.

      FINISH
      Lingering and Refined

      A long, harmonious finish reveals a balanced interplay of dark fruit and spice, underscored by an elegant mineral backbone. The wine’s finish is clean yet complex, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and refinement.
