The Keyneton Euphonium is Henschke’s refined and contemporary expression of Barossa Valley red wine, drawing on fruit from old, low-yielding vineyards across the Eden and Barossa Valleys. The 2018 vintage brings together Shiraz with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, resulting in a wine that balances Barossa warmth with freshness, structure and remarkable poise.

Aromatically expressive, it opens with layers of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry, supported by notes of dried herbs, baking spice, cedar and subtle floral lift. On the palate, the wine is supple yet composed, with fine-grained tannins, integrated oak and a long, savoury finish. While approachable with a good decant, the 2018 also has the depth and harmony to reward further time in bottle, making it equally appealing for current enjoyment or mid-term cellaring.
