Description
The Henschke 'The Wheelwright' Shiraz 2019 is a testament to the legacy of Johann Christian Henschke, the founder of the Henschke winery. Produced from old-vine Shiraz planted in 1968, this wine celebrates the rich history of the Eden Valley vineyard. The dark crimson wine with violet hues offers an alluring nose of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and vanilla flower, complemented by lifted notes of anise, bay leaf, and cedar.
On the palate, 'The Wheelwright' Shiraz is rich and plush, presenting generous layers of brambly fruits, mocha, and savory spices. The wine’s balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins contribute to a long, fruit-driven finish, enhancing its classic Barossa character. Scoring 95 points from Wine Enthusiast and 97 points from James Halliday, this Shiraz is celebrated for its complexity and elegance. With its excellent aging potential, it will continue to develop and offer delightful drinking experiences for years to come.
