The 2022 Henschke Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and elegant expression of Eden Valley Cabernet, presented in a premium gift box. Produced by Henschke, this wine honours Cyril Henschke, a visionary member of the Henschke family, and reflects the estate’s commitment to quality, heritage, and site expression.
Fruit is sourced from selected vineyards in Eden Valley, where cooler temperatures, elevation, and ancient soils contribute to low yields, vibrant natural acidity, and fine tannin structure. The 2022 vintage delivered fruit of excellent balance and purity, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon of finesse, clarity, and ageing potential.
In the winery, grapes were hand-harvested and gently fermented to preserve varietal character and aromatic detail. Maturation took place in French oak barrels, including a proportion of new oak, allowing the wine to develop complexity, structure, and seamless integration.
The wine reveals lifted aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and dark cherry, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and subtle spice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and finely structured, with bright acidity, polished tannins, and a long, composed finish that reflects its cool-climate origin.
Approachable with decanting in its youth, the 2022 Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon will reward cellaring over 15–25+ years, developing additional savoury complexity and tertiary nuance.
Presented in a premium gift box, this is an ideal choice for collectors, gifting, or those seeking a distinguished and elegant Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.
