About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazEden Valley, AustraliaHenschke Hill of Grace Shiraz is Australia's most important single-vineyard wine. Vintaged since 1958, the Hill of Grace is the quintessential Eden Valley Shiraz showing pristine flavours of blackberry, sage and mocha with fine, lacy tannin with voluminous freshness. Stephen and Prue Henschke are the custodians of an Australian wine treasure that was in full flourish in 2001.

Vintage 2001

Excellent vintage. Deep red colour, a hint of purple. Slightly loose-knit aroma. Almost a hint of 'dead fruit'. Walnutty oak and pruney fruit. Very rich and smooth with vanilla, chocolate flavours. A big boned, slightly hollow wine, but it lacks fruit and vibrancy and seems rather dried-out. Future uncertain.
