2021 Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz Eden Valley – The Mount Edelstone vineyard, situated in the Eden Valley, was planted in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of George Fife Angas, who founded South Australia. Unusual for its time, it was planted solely to Shiraz. The ancient 500 million-year-old soils on the vineyard are deep red-brown clay-loam to clay, resulting in low yields from over 100 year-old dry-grown, ungrafted centenarian vines. First bottled as a single-vineyard wine in 1952, it became recognised as one of the greatest Shiraz wines in Australia.The 2021 vintage will be considered a standout of the decade, remembered for complex wines with exceptional varietal expression, balance and purity, that speak of the ancient land from which they originate.Intensely fragrant aromas of blackberry, blueberry and satsuma plum with signature spice notes of black, white and green peppercorn, wild sage, fresh bay leaf and bundled thyme. The palate is complex, plush and spicy, with black and blue fruits, rich dark licorice and fresh cut herbs, framed by elegant acidity and fine, velvety tannins for an exceptionally long, detailed finish.The 2021 single-vineyard wines show an impressive potential for long term ageing in ideal cellaring conditions.Single Price: $340.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $270.00
