Named after the early English pioneer Joseph Keynes who settled at Keyneton in 1842. Cyril Henschke established a large planting of predominantly Riesling and Shiraz at Keyneton during a time when riesling was scarce and bonuses were being paid by the large wineries. Today the Shiraz from Keyneton is reserved for Euphonium. A mostly Shiraz wine with smaller components of Merlot, Cabernet and Cabernet Franc, grown to the Eden and Barossa Valleys, vinified at the Henschke Road wineworks at Keyneton into a soft, easy to enjoy wine. Components are treated to eighteen months maturation in a combination of new and prior use French and American oak hogsheads.
