      The 2022 Mount Edelstone Shiraz 70th Anniversary Release from Henschke in South Australia’s Eden Valley commemorates seven decades since its first bottling as a single-vineyard Shiraz in 1952. Drawn from ungrafted vines planted in 1912, this 100% Shiraz is grown under organic and biodynamic practices on deep red-brown clay loam soils. Matured for 20 months in French oak hogsheads, with a small proportion of new oak, the wine reflects both the longevity of site and the continuity of Henschke’s custodianship.

      Deep crimson with purple hues, the aromatics are detailed and expressive, revealing dark bramble fruits, black cherry and satsuma plum interwoven with sage, bay leaf, thyme, black pepper and cedar. The palate is rich and composed, unfolding black and blue fruits with anise, cocoa, dark spice and crushed herbs. Supple, velvety tannins carry through a balanced, persistent finish of notable length. The 2022 season, defined by a cool start, reduced yields and an extended ripening period, has delivered a wine of clarity and structure, aligned with the lineage of this historic vineyard and suited to long-term cellaring or serving alongside roast lamb or slow-braised beef.

      Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2022 70th Anniversary Release

      Equally impressive is the youthful vibrancy and freshness on show in this four-year-old shiraz with its high spice aromatics, florals and signature Mt. Edelstone herbals. Dark fruits, black cherry mingle with Aussie bush, earth, sage, bay leaf and floral violet top notes. Floating between the layers is a lively spiciness, rising as the wine crosses the palate. …Elegance is a given with Mt. Edelstone, but the youthful finesse of this wine is next level.

      — 98 points - Jeni Port, The Vintage Journal

      An elegant wine of great finesse and poise that captures in an instant the very essence of this great vineyard. The nose shows a more savoury black olive and sage bush character that is lifted with an edgy pepperiness with a hint of bay leaf. It’s bright, lively, with almost boundless energy. This is the modern Edelstone style in essence, captured magnificently. Has all the character with less opulence and more finesse. Love it. There is great brightness and energy with a luminosity that positively glows on the palate.

      — 98 points - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

      …fresh and bright young-wine aromas with notes of of blackberry underlying the fresh and dried herbs, smoked meats, pepper and mixed spices. Great depth of flavour and concentration but also supreme elegance and harmony. The balance is so impressive in such a young Edelstone. There are lashings of tannins but they are lovely supple, fine-grained tannins, in perfect harmony with the wine. An exceptional vintage indeed.
