Henschke Keyneton Euphonium 2022

Product Description:
A symphony of Barossa fruit and Eden Valley finesse.

The 2022 Henschke Keyneton Euphonium is a finely tuned blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot—a bold yet composed red that reflects Henschke’s legacy of balance and detail. Sourced from up to 50-year-old vines in both the Eden and Barossa Valleys, this wine is named for the musical traditions of the Henschke family and the village of Keyneton itself. In every sense, it lives up to its name: harmonious, expressive, and enduring.

This vintage offers a layered nose of blackberry, raspberry, violet and almond blossom, with savoury shades of bay leaf, black pepper, and dried herbs. The palate is built on dark forest fruits, cocoa and spice, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity delivering length and lift. Aged 18 months in mostly seasoned French and American oak, it’s a wine that impresses now but promises more with time.

Serve it with slow-cooked lamb, grilled mushrooms or hard cheeses. Decant if drinking young, or cellar confidently for 10–15 years.
