HenschkeHill of Grace Shiraz 2002
About this product
Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz is produced from fruit harvested from vines over 140 years old. These vines were planted in rich alluvial soil in a shallow fertile valley, opposite the beautiful stone church euphoniously named Gnadenberg, meaning 'Hill of Grace'. The 2002 vintage was one for the ages and will reward the patient cellarer with over 25 years of enjoyment.

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.

Holding its hue well; fragrant black fruits with touches of licorice and spice run through the bouquet, with oak in the background. The medium-bodied palate is feline and focused; very long, finishing with exceptionally fine-grained tannins. Harmonious and elegant, there is no intrusion whatsoever from the alcohol; effortless power. While retail prices always have a degree of elasticity, this wine has overtaken the price of the '02 Penfolds Grange, released at the same time.
