Named in memory of Stephen’s father, Cyril Henschke (1924-1979), who planted the Eden Valley vineyard and bottled his first Cabernet Sauvignon from this site in 1976. This north-facing vineyard, comprising sandy loam soils over gravel and bedrock with patches of clay, is in the cooler part of the Mount Lofty Ranges, in the Barossa Range just east of the Barossa Valley. Sitting at an altitude of 500 metres, the wine sees 35% new oak. Remarkable minty Cabernet here, with amazing focus and such refinement of tannins. Everything is in perfect balance, and the finish has just the right level of austerity. Really nicely done.
