HENSCHKE MT EDELSTONE 2018

Style: Bold & Powerful

As one of Australia¿s oldest family-owned wineries, Henschke has been making wine for over 150 years in the Barossa¿s Eden Valley. Established in 1868, Henschke is resolute in its desire for complete integration of vineyard and winery, through six generations of family grapegrowing and winemaking tradition in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. HENSCHKE

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, ungrafted centenarian vines. First bottled as a single-vineyard wine in 1952 by fourth-generation Cyril Henschke. Glorious wine. Untold depths of the richest blackberry and plum fruit with a magically bright finish ex livewire acidity. 99 HALLIDAY
