Henschke Keyneton Euphonium 2023

A 65% Shiraz to 33% Cabernet Sauvignon blend with just a 2% splash of Cabernet Franc to round out this red blend sourced from both the Barossa Valley (31%) and 69% Eden Valley, matured as separate parcels in French oak hogshead barrels for 17 months, only 10% of those new. It’s got the full Austral blend package, attractive black fruits and bushland aromatics to start, the Cabernet components playing a strong game here with some pretty bold Shiraz working its magic in tandem. Fleshy with a deal of fresh and almost tart acidity to drive the palate, there’s a lot of impressive energy unleashed in this wine.
