About this product
This wine carries the name of the Henschke winemaker Stephen’s father, Cyril Henschke (1924-1979), as a tribute to one of Australia’s outstanding wine-making pioneers, renowned for old-vine single-vineyard and quality varietal table wines. Cyril planted Cabernet Sauvignon at Henschke’s Eden Valley vineyard in the 1960s. 15 months in American and French oak this is 90% Cabernet with help from Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
