First produced as a single-vineyard wine in 1978, it is renowned for its texture, depth, complexity and fine-grained tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 season began with good winter rainfall and a cool, slow start, with budburst around two weeks later than average. A severe hail event in October significantly reduced crop potential, while later flowering delivered good fruit set at smaller yields. A mild, dry finish to summer followed welcome January rainfall, resulting in a late harvest. Henschke describes the resulting single-vineyard wines as showing elegance, distinction and strong potential for long-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the Cyril Henschke Vineyard on the Henschke Eden Valley property.

Spicy, fragrant aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, tamarillo and violets are lifted by nuances of cassis, cocoa, black liquorice and crushed flowering herbs. An alluring core of concentrated black fruits is framed by cedar, clove, star anise and black olive, with focused acidity and fine-grained tannins driving a long, powerful finish.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed April 2025\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinepilot – 97\/100:\u003c\/strong\u003e “There is a very strong case that this might be the best Cyril yet released. It was first produced as a single vineyard wine back in 1978 from vines planted in 1969. From the 1990s it's been coming from Stephen and Prue's vineyard planted in 1988. In many ways, this marks a slightly different direction for the Cyril, although the essential stylistic varietal expression remains strong. It's a firm and slightly tighter wine of terrific linear structure with a bright, lively acidity, which in this vintage is particularly evident. The thread of blackcurrant fruit merges with a slightly dried herb and sage-like character. It is probably the most precisely focused of any Cyril to date, leading to its poise and defined, detailed finish. Surprisingly, in some ways, it gets just a 5% smidgeon of new oak with the remainder seasoned. So you are getting a clear window into the vineyard and the vintage influence.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted March 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Front – 95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted March 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Henschke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyril Henschke Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27–28 April 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.1g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic and biodynamic practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 months in 5% new and 95% seasoned French oak hogsheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional vintage; 30+ years from vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Malvern Valley Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44725196849240,"sku":"9707819809","price":551.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/5994\/9144\/files\/2022_Cyril_Henschke_efe11321-e666-44a8-9476-eb933d23d944.jpg?v=1788763689","url":"https:\/\/mvliquor.com.au\/products\/2022-henschke-cyril-henschke-cabernet-sauvignon-1-5l-magnum","provider":"Malvern Valley Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
