The beautiful and historic name Mount Edelstone is a translation from the German Edelstein meaning ‘gemstone’, a reference to 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 part 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; by the time Cyril purchased the vineyard from Colin Angas in 1974, Mount Edelstone was already well entrenched as one of Australia’s greatest shiraz wines.

Drinking Window: 2000-2020

Producer tasting notes: "Vibrant crimson with deep red hues. Concentrated aromas of dark plums, cherry skins and blackcurrants with savoury hints of sage, black pepper and cedar. The palate expands on this with rich blackberry compote and ripe black fruits, and beautifully developed finegrained tannins balanced by an elegant acid backbone that provides a long and plush finish." - Henschke
