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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003eDeep 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.\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.

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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003e“…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.” 96 points - Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1131\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Fragrant Red and Dark Fruits\u003cbr\u003eRaspberry, black cherry and boysenberry with spice, cocoa, herbs and savoury nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1288\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Poised and Layered\u003cbr\u003eMulberry, blueberry and black plum with peppercorn and delicate floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Silky and Long\u003cbr\u003eFine acidity and refined tannins extend the wine with balance and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003e Varietal – Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003e Country – Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1554\"\u003e Region – Eden Valley\u003cbr data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003e Vintage – 2022\u003cbr data-start=\"1591\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003e Bottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e ABV – 14.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1630\"\u003e Closure – Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"3323\"\u003e%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henschke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738719883351,"sku":"HWHEELSH-22","price":164.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/35d3650c-3300-46aa-9e7f-e47ef48ac48b.jpg?v=1777600168","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/henschke-the-wheelwright-shiraz-2022","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
