The Eden Valley is a cooler sub-region of the Barossa to the south east on the Barossa Range, overlooking the Barossa Valley. The Eden Valley has a wide range of soils mostly derived from schistic and sedimentary rock with red clay and sandy loams, which leads to a wide variety of wines being produced. It is best known for its Shiraz and Riesling. The high altitude and cool climate of the region produces wines with great complexity and cellaring capacity.
Tasting notes: Named after Cyril Henschke (1924-1979),one of Australia’s outstanding winemaking pioneers and cabernet sauvignon planter in 1960. A supple pallet showing soft, fleshy, nicely textured fruit. Blueberries, cassis and plummy notes linger only to be emphasised with mossy notes and a long finish.
Tasting notes: This wine has intense and concentrated sweetness with juicy plum pudding fruit and structured ripe tannin. An attractive level of power, seamless texture and lingering finish display the hallmark characters of the Mount Edelstone vineyard in one of its greatest years.
