HenschkeHill of Grace Shiraz 2005
About this product
If Grange is the greatest example of a multi-regional Shiraz, then surely the Hill of Grace is the greatest single site expression of the variety. Hill of Grace is carefully crafted by Stephen & Prue Henschke from an 8ha site in the Eden Valley. The 2005 is a stunning, layered masterpiece. Near the top are rose petals, violets and Turkish Delight. Aromas of fruits of the forest and mulberry emerge next, sitting atop deep-seated spice, tar and anise. Truly an incredible Australian wine.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
