The 2023 Henschke Keyneton Euphonium Shiraz Blend is a beautifully composed Barossa and Eden Valley red from one of Australia’s most iconic family wineries, blending Shiraz with Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Cabernet Franc in a refined, age-worthy style. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing blackberry, plum and mulberry layered with anise, black pepper, clove and dried herbs.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with plush blue and black fruit flavours, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that bring freshness and balance. Savoury spice, cedar and earthy nuances add depth and complexity, leading to a long, polished and elegant finish. The style is powerful yet beautifully restrained, combining richness, structure and exceptional drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout premium Australian red blends for customers who enjoy classic Barossa fruit with elegance, savoury complexity and serious cellaring potential. Perfect with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-cooked meats or fine dining occasions. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 15–25 years.
