Henschke Keyneton Euphonium Shiraz 750ml

This is a beautiful blend made from predominantly Shiraz grapes. The fruit comes from vines that are up to 50-year-old vines grown in the Eden and Barossa Valleys. Some were planted by Cyril Henschke himself at the Eden Valley property in the 1960s. The judges fell in love with this “good grown up Aussie style wine”, with a gently inviting nose displaying notes of hay as well as sweet ripe red fruit.

 On the palate, one judge deemed this a “big, alcoholic, juicy’ red, both warming and held together with firm tannins, which is everything we could want in a Barossa Shiraz. Although juicy red and blackcurrant were a big feature, but supported by herbal flavours of mint, dried grass, and even a touch of meat.
