2017 Henschke Mount Edelstone Eden Valley Shiraz
James Halliday 97 Points — "A Special Place. Will Cellar Magnificently."
The 2017 Henschke Mount Edelstone Eden Valley Shiraz is one of Australia's most historic single-vineyard Shiraz expressions — sourced from vines planted in 1912 by the Angas family.
My Wine Man on Henschke
Henschke is one of Australia's most celebrated family wine estates — six generations of winemaking in the Eden Valley. Mount Edelstone is Henschke's single-vineyard Shiraz icon — sourced from 110-year-old vines and made with the same uncompromising precision as Hill of Grace.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, cracked black pepper, dark chocolate, dried herbs and a haunting mineral thread. Full-bodied with fine structured tannins and a long, mineral finish of extraordinary depth. 97 Points — James Halliday.
Style & Drinking Window
Full-bodied with structured tannins. Drinking well now and built to evolve through 2045+. Decant 2 hours.
Food Pairing
A 97-point Eden Valley single-vineyard icon deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Mount Edelstone's dark plum, black pepper and mineral old-vine complexity.
