    Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2015 is an iconic wine that embodies the history and legacy of one of Australia’s most renowned single-vineyard Shiraz. Produced from the historic Mount Edelstone Vineyard in the Eden Valley, this wine represents the very essence of elegance, depth, and intensity. The vineyard’s centenarian, dry-grown, ungrafted vines, planted in 1912, produce a Shiraz of exceptional quality with low yields and highly concentrated fruit. The 2015 vintage is the 63rd bottling of this wine, making it the longest-running single-vineyard Shiraz in Australia. With a rich history that dates back to the early 1950s, Mount Edelstone has become synonymous with Australian fine wine, and this vintage is no exception.

    The 2015 release benefits from a near-perfect growing season, where warm conditions followed by cooler ripening weather allowed for complex and expressive fruit. After a careful and thoughtful harvest, the wine underwent maturation in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads. The result is a wine that is at once rich, layered, and harmonious. It offers a classic expression of Mount Edelstone Shiraz with vibrant dark fruits, finely integrated tannins, and the signature peppery and herbal notes. This wine will continue to evolve for decades, rewarding careful cellaring.
