DESCRIPTION
Henschke Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is sourced from the iconic Eden Valley vineyard and pays tribute to Cyril Henschke, a pioneer of Australian viticulture. The grapes come from old vines over 50 years old, cultivated using biodynamic practices, and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (including 8% new wood). 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot. It features 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.51, and 6.4 g/L of total acidity. An exceptional vintage offering an aging potential of 30 years and more.
On the nose, aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, thyme, and violet, enhanced by notes of cedar, chocolate, and pepper. On the palate, ample, textured, and vibrant, balanced by a fresh acidity and concentrated fruit, with a long and refined finish. Pairs with a pheasant with morels or a grilled ribeye steak.

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.
