HenschkeHill of Grace Shiraz 1973
About this product
With a history spanning decades, vineyards of ancient gnarly vines with vintages going back to the 1950's, HOG is Australia's supreme single vineyard wine and a testimonial to the quality of wine that Australia has been producing for decades. This wine is a very deep crimson with violet hues giving an alluring nose of exotic spices, cracked black pepper, licorice, sage and crushed herbs, complemented by sweeter notes of blackberry, plum and cedar. The complex palate has dark, brooding flavours, rich layers, texture and balance of natural acidity, while the refined, silky tannins provide exceptional length.

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.
