Description
2022 The Wheelwright Shiraz
Produced from old-vine Shiraz grown in the cooler Eden Valley, The Wheelwright has quickly established itself as one of Australia’s great modern Shiraz expressions. In 2022, the wine is especially captivating — intensely aromatic, savoury and beautifully composed.
There is an energy and tension to the wine that reflects the cooler season perfectly. Dark berry fruit, spice, florals and mineral notes unfold across a long, poised palate, supported by silky tannins and vibrant acidity. It is a Shiraz of sophistication rather than opulence, built for graceful ageing over decades.
96 points, Erin Larkin,The Wine Advocate
“… This offers immense pleasure now, but it will, like all the Henschke wines, evolve positively in the cellar for decades to come. The 2022 vintage brings such delicacy and freshness to this wine. I love it.”
18.5 points, Matthew Jukes,MatthewJukes.com
“…The Wheelwright has quietly taken up a position as flag-waver for the mighty Shiraz-based wines from Henschke, and in 2022, it does a brilliant job!…This is the most complete vintage of this wine to date!”
