Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz – Eden Valley

Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz from Barossa, Australia. Ripe and complete shiraz, lots of richness on the nose and palate with terroir and fruit especially of blackcurrants and plums. A wine with exceptional finesse and complexity from onset to finish. Good balance in fruit, acidity and tannin. Fantastic choice with dishes featuring duck and other slightly fattier meats. Syrah: a strong blue grape of very high quality. This grape is usually not easy for wine growers, but it is the seasoning for many Côtes du Rhône Villages. Delivers incredibly powerful and complex wines under optimal conditions. Have a high tannin content, without being stiff. The Syrah grape quickly suffers from poor fruit set in cool weather during flowering (coulure) but is not very susceptible to grape diseases such as Oidium.
