Keyneton euphonium 2016 (Henschke)

Cellar for up to 20 years. Decanting is optional, for up to an hour before serving. Henschke is a winery based in Southern Australia, with a rich wine-making heritage. Members of the Henschke family have been providing Southern Australia with excellent wine for over 150 years, long before the region gained international recognition. Now entering its sixth generation, Henschke is led by husband and wife Stephen and Prue and their three children, who are talented viticulturists in their own right. The family’s approach to wine-making is simple - they take care of the land, and in turn, the land provides quality grapes for a beautiful range of South Australian wine. The Keyneton Euphonium is a deep scarlet blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, with a splash of Merlot. It has a deep and generous nose, with prominent notes of cassis, plum and chocolate underpinned żeby herbal notes of tomato leaf and eucalyptus. It has an impressive concentration on the palate, with a round and velvety mouthfeel. Forest berries and rich plums are supported by notes of white pepper and liquorice. This is a classic taste of Barossa, made with fruits harvested from Barossa and Eden Valley. It will pair perfectly with a roast leg of lamb, aged hard cheeses, or a platter of olives.
