Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2001 is one of the most revered Australian wines ever produced, sourced from the historic single vineyard in Eden Valley planted with ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Shiraz vines dating back to the 1860s. Crafted by Stephen and Prue Henschke, the wine represents the pinnacle of the family’s sixth-generation winemaking heritage and stands among the world’s great expressions of Shiraz. The 2001 vintage in Eden Valley delivered exceptional growing conditions, producing fruit of remarkable concentration, purity and structural precision. Matured in a selection of French and American oak hogsheads, the wine balances immense power with extraordinary finesse and composure.
The ancient vineyard, situated beside the Gnadenberg Lutheran Church from which the wine takes its name, contributes distinctive mineral complexity and aromatic detail that define the Hill of Grace style. Deeply layered and intensely perfumed, the 2001 vintage reveals dark berry fruit, exotic spice, earth, sage and cedar nuances that continue to evolve with extended aeration and bottle age. The palate is simultaneously rich and graceful, supported by refined tannins and vibrant acidity that provide exceptional longevity. Despite its immense concentration, the wine maintains precision, energy and elegance throughout, hallmarks of the greatest Hill of Grace vintages. Now entering magnificent maturity, the 2001 continues to display both primary vitality and beautifully developed tertiary complexity. Widely regarded as one of the benchmark vintages of Hill of Grace, it remains highly collectible and profoundly cellar-worthy. It is an exceptional companion to premium beef, game meats, truffle dishes and aged hard cheeses.
