Sourced from the Wheelwright Vineyard on the Henschke estate, this 100% Shiraz comes from vines planted in 1968 at 470 metres elevation. Grown under organic and biodynamic practices, the site reflects altitude-driven freshness and measured concentration. Matured for 20 months in French oak hogsheads, with a small proportion of new oak, the wine balances detail with depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"1288\"\u003eDeep crimson with violet hues, the aromatics are lifted and composed, showing raspberry, black cherry and boysenberry with nutmeg, aniseed, cocoa, sage, wild fennel and charcuterie. The palate is poised and finely structured, unfolding mulberry, blueberry and black plum alongside white and pink peppercorn and subtle floral notes. Fine acidity supports a long, silky tannin finish. The 2022 season, defined by a cool start, reduced yields and a drawn-out ripening period, has delivered a wine of clarity and elegance. In magnum, it gains further composure and ageing potential, well suited to cellar development or service with roasted game or herb-crusted lamb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1303\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fragrant Dark Berries\u003cbr\u003e- Raspberry, black cherry and boysenberry with spice, cocoa, herbs and savoury detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1456\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Poised and Structured\u003cbr\u003eMulberry, blueberry and black plum with peppercorn and floral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Silky and Extended\u003cbr\u003eLong, refined tannins carried by fine acidity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"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.
