"Cyril Henschke, 1924-1979, was one of Australia's outstanding winemakers and a pioneer in the production of varietal table wines, with the accent on quality and flavour. The Cabernet Sauvignon label continues to carry his name as a tribute.
Vintage Description
A wet winter with average rainfall during the
four-month winter period, followed by a mild
dry spring, led to excellent growth, good set
and vigour. However frosts caused damage in
some vineyards. A mild, late Indian summer
ended the cool season, ensuring excellent
ripening conditions and accumulation of colour
and flavour.
Grape Variety
75% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot and
10% cabernet franc grapes grown in the Eden
Valley region.
Wine Description
Very deep crimson and ruby in colour. Intense
berry-fruits, cassis and sweet herbal aromas
with a hint of soy, chocolate and mocha.
A well-structured palate with great length
exhibiting concentrated cedar, cassis, anise
and tar.."
