Henschke The Wheelwright Shiraz 2021

The Wheelwright, first released to commemorate 150 years of Henschke family winemaking, pays tribute to our 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.

A mildly oaked, medium-bodied, wine. Lightly toasted oak adds complexity and structure while still working in harmony with the lifted stone fruit and minerality.

Irvine Spring Hill Riesling 2024

A dry, aromatic Eden Valley riesling that is fresh on the palate, but distinctive in its light texture and  length. A food friendly wine that classically pairs well with sushi or lightly dressed shellfish like prawns, oysters or crab. It can also be fantastic as a  counterweight to richer, fattier dishes like pork belly, a creamy chicken casserole or fish and chips. Lightly  pickled vegetables, or a young goat’s cheese would be  a good vegetarian option.

Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2021 (Gift Box)

The beautiful and historic name Mount Edelstone is a translation from the German Edelstein meaning ‘gemstone’, a reference to the small yellow opals once found in the area. The Mount Edelstone Vineyard was planted in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of George Fife Angas who founded The South Australian Company and played a significant role in the formation and establishment of South Australia. Unusual for its time, the vineyard was planted solely to shiraz. The ancient 500-million-year-old geology in the vineyard has given rise to soils that are deep red-brown clay-loam to clay, resulting in low yields from the dry-grown, un-grafted centenarian vines. The wine was first bottled as a single-vineyard shiraz in 1952 by fourth-generation Cyril Henschke.

Henschke Cyril Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

99% cabernet sauvignon and 1% merlot grown on the Cyril Henschke Vineyard on the Henschke Eden Valley property, managed with organic and biodynamic practices. Matured in 8% new and 92% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling. This wine carries the name of Stephen's father, fourth- generation Henschke winemaker, Cyril Henschke (1924-1979); a tribute to one of Australia's outstanding winemaking pioneers, who was renowned for old-vine, single-vineyard and quality varietal table wines. Cyril planted cabernet sauvignon at the Henschke Eden Valley property in the late 1960s. The cabernet sauvignon vines, along with cabernet franc and merlot, are planted on a north facing slope, and are managed with organic and biodynamic practices. First produced as a single-vineyard wine in 1978, Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates the incredible beauty that emerges from the vibrant rows of this Eden Valley vineyard, revered for its texture, depth, complexity and fine-grained tannins.

Pewsey Vale 1961 Block Eden Valley Riesling 2021

The Pewsey Vale 1961 Block Riesling 2021 offers aromas of lemon myrtle and tea tree blossom on the nose. The palate showcases flavours of crushed quartz minerality.

From the oldest vines on Pewsey Vale Vineyard, the grapes are handpicked and the juice is wild fermented and aged for a few months on lees before bottling and release. This wine is proof that a healthy, biodiverse vineyard needs little winemaking intervention as the grapes and yeast from the vineyard to combine perfectly to make this wine.
