DESCRIPTION
Henschke Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 bears the name of winemaker Stephen Henschke’s father, a pioneer of Australian viticulture who planted the first cabernet sauvignon vines in the Eden Valley in the 1960s. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a parcel cultivated using organic and biodynamic agriculture on a north-facing slope. Vinification takes place in open-top fermenters, followed by aging in French oak barrels. On the nose, the wine reveals intense aromas of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, marzipan, and hazelnut, enhanced by touches of fresh bell pepper and rose garden. The palate is of remarkable finesse: blackcurrant, redcurrant, chinotto, supple graphitic tannins, and a long, fresh acidity. A wine of beautiful length, to be enjoyed between 2024 and 2032, with roasted red meats or a platter of aged cheeses.
REGION
Eden Valley
Australia
Eden Valley lies within the Barossa region and is recognised as one of the great Riesling regions of the world and one of Australia's first cool climate wine regions. Eden Valley wines stand out for their character, wonderful aromas, elegance, complexity and finesse. With a winemaking history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards in the world. Traditional grape growing continues with a focus on sustainability, as the fifth and sixth generations of the first settlers keep farming their family vineyards.
Recommended for you:
An Eden Valley Cabernet of restrained elegance: blackcurrant, fine chocolate, and graphitic tannins that hold without ever feeling heavy. A wine of terroir, not of demonstration.
