Henschke 2021 Single Vineyard Release
A Vintage Graced by An Ancient Land
Today marks the global release of the highly acclaimed 2021 Henschke Single Vineyard Release, which includes Hill of Grace, Hill of Roses, Mount Edelstone, The Wheelwright and Cyril Henschke.
The 2021 vintage will be released ahead of the minuscule 2020 vintage, which will be cellared for future release through the Henschke Museum and Rare Program. While the 2021 single-vineyard wines will be released after four years of maturation, rather than five, the Henschke family and winemaking team feel that this exceptional vintage has delivered a collection of wines that are both approachable upon release and will continue to develop even greater complexity over a cellaring potential of 30+ years.
"This year we celebrate the 2021 vintage as one ‘Graced by An Ancient Land’,” says viticulturist Prue Henschke. “The wines speak of the vineyards’ rich, red soils from an eroded mountain range, that have remained undisturbed in this protected pocket for over 500 million years.”

“The 2021 vintage will be considered a standout of the decade; remembered for complex wines with exceptional varietal expression, balance and purity, that speak of the ancient land from which they originate.”
