2022 Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon
Sourced from low-yielding Eden Valley vines planted in the 1960s, the 2022 release captures the cool nature of the vintage beautifully. Aromatically lifted and finely structured, it combines classic Cabernet perfume — cassis, blackcurrant leaf and cedar — with remarkable elegance and restraint.
Rather than sheer power, the wine offers precision and detail, with finely woven tannins and exceptional balance pointing towards a very long cellaring future. It is a striking example of how Eden Valley can produce Cabernet Sauvignon of both intensity and refinement.
