Cabernet Sauvignon was planted at the Henschke Eden Valley vineyard in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is situated on a north-facing slope in Eden Valley, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown under organic and biodynamic practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1996 vintage followed average winter rainfall after two drought years. A mild spring with excellent flowering conditions and a mild, cool but windy summer resulted in above-average yields. A cool, dry autumn enabled a long, slow ripening period with very good flavour development and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep crimson with brick red hues.
