Understanding Henschke, Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon, Eden Valley, South Australia
Henschke’s vineyards are nestled in the cooler regions of the Eden Valley, an area known for its ancient, mineral-rich soils. The north-facing Cabernet Sauvignon site features old vines leading to intensely-flavoured yet balanced, top-quality fruit. The winemaking process at Henschke is a blend of the traditional and modern. Grapes are carefully handpicked and sorted. Fermentation takes place with a focus on preserving the varietal's characteristic flavours, followed by maturation for 18 months in a combination of new and old French oak. This enhances the wine's structure and adds subtle notes of spice and vanilla. Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon boasts ripe blackcurrant, plum, chocolate and eucalyptus in a velvety palate with balanced tannins. Its finish is long and memorable. This wine is known for its longevity and cellaring potential.
