2021HenschkeMountEdelstoneShiraz

Sans The Mount Edelstone Vineyard, established in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of George Fife Angas, features ancient 500-million-year-old geology that has resulted in deep red-brown clay-loam soils. These conditions lead to low yields from the dry-grown, ungrafted centenarian Shiraz vines. First bottled as a single-vineyard wine in 1952 by fourth-generation Cyril Henschke, Mount Edelstone has been crafted by the Henschke family for over 65 years and is considered one of Australia’s premier single-vineyard Shiraz wines.The 2021 vintage delivered one of the finest Mount Edelstone releases of recent decades. Following a cool summer and warm, dry autumn, the old-vine Shiraz achieved remarkable depth, colour, and tannin maturity. The result is a wine of outstanding purity, balance, and expression—hallmarks of this historic single-vineyard site. Matured 18 months in French and American oak hogsheads (9% new, 91% seasoned), it recalls legendary vintages such as 1986, 2002, and 2015, with immense cellaring potential.Alc. 14.5%
