      Power, pedigree and remarkable longevity define this historic single-vineyard Shiraz from the Eden Valley. The 2009 Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz comes from one of Australia’s most revered vineyards, planted in 1912 on deep red clay and loam soils rich in quartz and ironstone. The vineyard lies within the cooler Eden Valley region, where elevation and climate contribute to the wine’s natural balance and aromatic refinement. The name “Mount Edelstone,” meaning gemstone in German, reflects both the vineyard’s mineral soils and the brilliance of the wines it consistently produces.

      The 2009 vintage benefited from warm, dry conditions that delivered exceptional ripeness while maintaining structure and depth. Henschke’s traditional approach includes open fermentation, gentle extraction and maturation in seasoned and new French oak barrels, allowing the fruit purity and vineyard identity to shine. In the glass the wine shows impressive concentration with layers of dark berry fruit, spice and subtle earthy complexity. The palate is powerful yet composed, framed by fine tannins and vibrant acidity that promise long cellaring potential. With its depth, structure and remarkable balance, Mount Edelstone 2009 stands as a compelling expression of old-vine Eden Valley Shiraz.

      — Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 96 points

      “A richly flavoured Shiraz with concentrated dark fruit, spice and earthy complexity. The tannins are finely woven and the wine shows excellent length and ageing potential.”
