Henschke 2018 Mount Edelstone Shiraz – Premium 750ml Vineyard Wine

Crafted by Australia’s legendary Henschke winery, the Keyneton Euphonium is a masterful red wine blend designed to captivate both seasoned connoisseurs and curious wine lovers. This sophisticated Australian red wine combines premium grape varieties—62% Shiraz for bold structure, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon for elegance, 11% Cabernet Franc for complexity, and 3% Merlot for smoothness—to create a harmonious yet dynamic flavor profile that stands out in any cellar or tasting lineup.

The Henschke team’s meticulous approach shines through every step of production. After careful grape selection from their esteemed vineyards, the blend is aged for 18 months in a thoughtfully balanced combination of French (85%) and American (15%) oak hogsheads. This aging process imparts rich layers of vanilla and spice while preserving the wine’s natural fruit-forward character, resulting in a bottle that balances tradition with innovation.

On the palate, this complex red wine unfolds with aromatic depth—think pencil shavings and mint mingling with dark cassis and hints of cigar box—a testament to its nuanced aging and varietal composition. The dusty tannins provide a velvety texture that lingers effortlessly on the tongue, while its remarkable length ensures each sip delivers lasting satisfaction. Whether paired with hearty grilled meats or enjoyed as a statement piece during special occasions, this wine offers exceptional value for those seeking a bold yet refined Australian red blend with aging potential.

The Keyneton Euphonium isn’t just a bottle; it’s an expression of Henschke’s decades-long commitment to crafting wines that resonate with both passion and precision—a must-try for anyone exploring premium Australian blends or seeking a standout addition to their collection.
