About The Wine

Henschke is Australian royalty. The family's been making wine in South Australia since 1862 — six generations of learning the land, refining the craft, and building one of the country's most respected names. The winery started when Johann Christian Henschke escaped Germany in 1803, eventually planting his first vineyard in Barossa Valley and releasing Shiraz and Riesling in 1868. Today, sixth-generation Johann and his wife Angela run the show — Johann trained at the University of Adelaide and cut his teeth at Leeuwin Estate, Felton Road, Isole e Olena, and Arietta in Napa. Angela comes from the Torremilanos family in Ribera del Duero. They're the real deal.

The Keyneton Estate Euphonium is 100% Shiraz from Eden Valley and the surrounding South Australia vineyards — old-vine fruit that gives the wine its depth and structure. This is the kind of Shiraz that makes supermarket bottles taste emotionally vacant: briary blackberry and mulberry up front, then five spice, star anise, black peppercorn, thyme, dried basil, and a hint of game. The palate is pure and focussed, with blackberry and plum wrapped in silky tannins that stretch out endlessly.

James Suckling scored it 95 points. Wine Spectator gave it 91. The wine drinks beautifully now and will hold for a decade or more — pull the cork tonight or let it develop in the cellar.

This is what happens when a family spends 160 years learning the same land. You're drinking their expertise.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

"Spice- and earth-driven aromas of dark cherries, blood plums, blackcurrants, dried herbs and cured meat. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and finely integrated tannins, giving notes of licorice, mulberries, pepper, mocha and ferric earth. A seamlessly integrated blend of mostly shiraz with cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. Drink or hold. Screw cap." ~95 James Suckling
"Luscious dark cherry and plum fruit, along with complexing notes of baking spice, liquorice and woody herbs. Dense and chewy at first, then a burst of acidity and a note of blood orange lift the finish and help it endure for a surprisingly long time. Harvested 1 March-22 April and matured in 11% new and 89% seasoned hogsheads (82% French, 18% American) for 18 months." ~95 Decanter
"A dense red, with succulence to its spiced plum preserves, salted black licorice, black pepper and bittersweet chocolate, plus accents of malty Assam black tea and dried cherry. Plenty of spice, tobacco and cedar grace notes linger. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now through 2038. 300 cases imported." ~93 Wine Spectator"The 2021 Keyneton Euphonium, a seamless blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, displays beautiful approachability with vibrant blackberry cassis, slate, violets and Szechuan pepper aromas. The cooler vintage shows more open-knit tannins than usual, but the exceptional balance will still provide good staying power." ~92 Vinous Media

THE PRODUCER

Henschke

The story of Henschke winery starts with the journey of Johann Christian Henschke, when he dramatically escaped from Germany to Australia back in 1803. In 1847, Johann established in Barossa Valley, where he purchased some land in Krondorf village and built the house that would become the winery (which stands to this day.) It was in 1862, that he planted the first vineyard and 6 years later, he released the first vintage of Shiraz and Riesling.
