The Henschke family have been making wine at their estate in the Eden Valley since 1868. Fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke took over running the winery in 1979. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this cool, elegant wine was named as a tribute to Cyril Henschke after he passed away in 1976. Deep ruby with garnet hues. Complex aromas of cassis, redcurrant and mulberry interwoven with star anise, oregano, thyme, violets and tobacco leaf. The palate delivers layers of vibrant and pure blackcurrant and plum, balanced by hints of cedar and vanilla. An energising acidity and fine-grained tannins provide a long, defined, mouth-coating finish. This a a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon with a considerable future ahead.
