Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz is a single‑vineyard expression from the Tappa Pass site in Eden Valley, South Australia. This cooler‑climate Shiraz shows elegance and precision, with bright acidity and refined tannins that drive a focused, long finish. Expect dark berry fruit, spice, and a mineral lift that reflects the site, with aging potential to develop complexity.
