Produced using 100% Shiraz from the 112-year-old Henschke Mount Edelstone Vineyard in the Eden Valley wine region, managed with organic and biodynamic practices. Crafted by the Henschke family for over 65 years now, Mount Edelstone is arguably the longest consecutively-produced, single-vineyard wine in Australia.

A superb, classically styled Eden Valley Shiraz from 100+ year old vines, the 2021 Mount Edelstone is both expressive and poised, delivering perfumed dark fruits, layers of spice and herb, and a graceful, persistent finish. This vintage will reward cellaring, revealing greater complexity and harmony over the next two decades.

It is deep crimson with ruby and purple hues, reflecting vibrancy and concentration. Intensely fragrant and complex, the nose delivers layers of blackberry, blueberry, and Satsuma plum, interwoven with signature spice notes of black, white, and green peppercorn. Floral notes of violets and a hint of sandalwood add further aromatic lift

The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with a velvety, layered texture. Perfumed dark berry fruit—blackberry, blood plum, and mulberry—takes centre stage, supported by spicy wood, sandalwood, and cedar. Black pepper, sage, and a subtle minerality drive. There is a sense of measured ripeness, with fresh acidity and superfine, powdery tannins providing structure and energy

The 2021 vintage is marked by its balance of concentration and elegance, with plush yet focused tannins and a fresh mineral cadence. The wine is tightly bound in its youth, promising significant depth and complexity as it ages. Oak is seamlessly integrated, supporting rather than dominating the fruit. The finish is long, savoury, and marked by a lingering spice and cool minerality
