Henschke The Wheelwright Shiraz 2022
The Wheelwright, first released to commemorate 150 years of Henschke family winemaking, pays tribute to Henschke’s founder, winemaker Johann Christian Henschke (1803-1873). He was among the first generation of the early German Silesian community of the Barossa in South Australia and established the family winery in 1868. Johann Christian arrived in 1841 as a skilled stonemason and wheelwright and planted his first vineyards in the high country of the picturesque Eden Valley. This wine is produced from old vine shiraz planted in 1968, a century later, by fourth-generation Cyril Henschke near the village of Eden Valley at 470m altitude. As per the Barossa Old Vine Charter, an ‘old vine’ is equal to or greater than 35 years of age.
Deep crimson with violet hues.
Fragrant aromas of raspberry, black cherry and boysenberry, with hints of nutmeg, aniseed, Dutch cocoa, sage, wild fennel and charcuterie.
A poised palate reveals mulberry, blueberry and black plum woven with white and pink peppercorn and delicate floral notes, balanced by fine acidity, resolving into a long, silky tannin finish.
