James Halliday 96 Points — Eden Valley Elegance from 1968 Vines

The 2017 Henschke The Wheelwright Eden Valley Shiraz is a wine of extraordinary detail — sourced from a Henschke vineyard planted in 1968 and crafted with the estate's signature precision.

My Wine Man on Henschke

Henschke is one of Australia's most celebrated family wine estates. The Wheelwright is one of the estate's premium single-vineyard expressions — sourced from older Eden Valley vines and made with the same precision as Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Black pepper, dark plum, blueberry, dark chocolate, dried herbs and a touch of cedar. Full-bodied with fine structured tannins and a long, peppery cool-climate finish. 96 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied cool-climate Eden Valley Shiraz. Drinking well now and built to evolve through 2040+. Decant 1–2 hours.

Food Pairing

A 96-point Eden Valley single-vineyard Shiraz pairs beautifully with lamb. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed White Stripe Premium Lamb Rack from My Meat Man — herb-crusted and roasted pink, a magnificent match for The Wheelwright's black pepper, dark plum and cool-climate elegance.
