Henschke Wheelwright Shiraz 2022

RRP $165

Critics thoughts - “The 2022 The Wheelwright Single Vineyard Shiraz is highly perfumed with purple flowers and lifted spice. This is loaded with pomegranate, raspberry, red licorice, pink peppercorn(in that attractive citrussy way that pink peppercorns can bring) and green olive tapenade. This is structural and yet juicy, savory (tannins) but sweet (fruit) and incredibly persistent and lingering. 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.”  96 POINTS - ERIN LARKIN, THE WINE ADVOCATE

“Heady, ‘composed’, settled, integrated aromas soar out of the glass. Sweet palate entry with a note of dried grasses. There’s a little leather, too. This seems like a wine you could enjoy already. It leaves a wonderfully soothing trace in the throat, and lasts for several minutes! There is real freshness and delicacy here.”  18/20 – JANCIS ROBINSON MW, JANCISROBINSON.COM

“Bright, plummy, seamless and pure, this is another classic 2022... The vines here are now over 50 years old, and they appear to embody a degree of elegance and linearity which gives The Wheelwright a similar silhouette to Cyril! ... The Wheelwright has quietly taken up a position as flag-waver for the mighty Shiraz - basedwines from Henschke, and in 2022, it does a brilliant job!... This is the most complete vintage of this wine to date!”  1 8.5 /20 – MATTHEW JUKES, MATTHEWJUKES.COM
