2023 Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz

The 2023 Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz is a beautifully structured Barossa and Eden Valley Shiraz from one of Australia’s most iconic family wineries, crafted from old-vine fruit grown on ancient soils. The nose is deeply perfumed and expressive, revealing blackberry, blueberry and satsuma plum layered with violets, black pepper, cedar, dark chocolate and savoury spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with plush dark fruit flavours, silky tannins and remarkable depth. Notes of mulberry, anise, clove and subtle earthiness are balanced by vibrant acidity and finely integrated French oak, leading to a long, polished and elegant finish. The style combines Barossa richness with Eden Valley freshness and finesse, delivering both immediate appeal and exceptional ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout premium Shiraz for customers who appreciate powerful yet refined Australian reds with complexity, structure and serious cellaring potential. Perfect with grilled steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked meats or fine dining occasions. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 15–20 years.
