      The 2022 The Wheelwright Shiraz from Henschke in South Australia’s Eden Valley is a single-vineyard wine drawn from vines planted in 1968 at 470 metres elevation. Composed of 100% Shiraz and farmed with organic and biodynamic practices, this site reflects both altitude and careful vineyard stewardship. Matured for 20 months in French oak hogsheads, with a small proportion of new oak, the wine balances depth with precision.

      Deep crimson with violet hues, the aromatics are fragrant and layered, showing raspberry, black cherry and boysenberry with notes of nutmeg, aniseed, cocoa, sage, wild fennel and charcuterie. The palate is poised and finely structured, revealing mulberry, blueberry and black plum interwoven with white and pink peppercorn and subtle floral tones. Fine acidity carries the wine through a long, silky tannin finish. The 2022 season, shaped by a cool start, reduced yields and a long ripening period, has delivered a wine of clarity and elegance, well suited to cellaring or pairing with roasted game or herb-crusted lamb.

      Henschke The Wheelwright Shiraz 2022

      This is such a lovely wine, brimming with bright red fruits supported by a fine, bright and lively acidity, fine chalky tannins and a neatly implemented oak. Has a beautifully seductive mouthfeel with tremendous depth and concentration of Shiraz. …Has beautiful peppery violet fragrances with stacks of red fruit.

      — 97 points - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

      Expressive and fruit pure with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruits with hints of brown spice, flowering herbs, sage, a flash of red cherry, violets, cedar, graphite and crushed rock. There’s a lovely core of pure plum and blue fruits over graphite, layers of spice and citrus blossom high tones. Graceful and sleek with melt-in-the-mouth tannins and a bright, sustained finish.

      — 96 points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

      …notes of blackberries, tobacco leaves, cold tea, aniseed, beef stock, dusty dark chocolate and cherries. There is a touch of plushness running through the wine, which is extremely well balanced and has exceptional length, finishing with fine, velvety tannins. Intensity is maintained throughout, as is that seductive and seamless texture.
