Sourced from pre-phylloxera vines planted in the mid-1800s and grown on their own roots, this single-vineyard wine reflects organic and biodynamic stewardship. Matured for 20 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads, it captures the detail and restraint that define this historic site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003eDark crimson with ruby hues, the aromatics open with blackberry, blueberry and fresh-cut plum, layered with five-spice, black pepper, violet and cedar. The palate is complex and finely structured, carrying mulberry, dark forest fruits and star anise with poised acidity and seamless, velvety tannins. The 2022 season, marked by a cool start, reduced yields and a long, mild ripening period, has delivered a wine of clarity and composure. In magnum, its depth and structure are set to evolve with particular grace over time, making it a compelling choice for long-term cellaring or serving alongside slow-roasted lamb or aged beef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Spiced Dark Fruits\u003cbr\u003eBlackberry and blueberry unfold with plum, five-spice, black pepper, violet and cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1232\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Layered and Velvety\u003cbr\u003eMulberry and dark forest fruits are supported by fine acidity and seamless, velvety tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Long and Composed\u003cbr\u003ePersistent, structured length with lingering spice and refined fruit depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e“May well be the prettiest Hill of Grace yet released. May also be the best, and that’s saying something. I thought 2021 was the greatest yet, then came 2022. …The depth and intensity of fruit that comes from vines that were planted in the 1860s is undeniable, but it’s all harnessed and focused into an effortless, long, and most graceful structure. There’s a distinct combination of black olive and bay leaf with a lift of sage bush. The palate is immensely powerful and intense with a focused concentration of fruit.” 99+ points - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003e“The 2022 Hill of Grace Shiraz leads with dark fruit and an abundance of exotic spice to match. The tannins are profuse here, quite distinct from the Hill of Roses tasted alongside. Star anise, cloves, cinnamon (cassia), fennel seeds and Sichuan pepper weave in and out of the blackberry, blueberry, crushed quartz\/ferrous undertones. There’s a sweet rolling-tobacco character that is highly attractive and lingers through the finish. I love the 2022 vintage. It is fresh and detailed. It may forever live in the shadow of the great 2021 vintage, but not for me—I believe firmly this is a sleeper vintage and will reveal its longevity given time. The allure of it now is not in question, either.” 99 points – Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003e“Australia’s finest and most famous single-site shiraz. …It’s the aromatic detail, texture and elegance that immediately stands out with the Hill of Grace. Pure satsuma plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of bay leaf, mace, sage, Chinese five-spice, panforte, cedar, tapenade, black pepper, pan juices, graphite, dried meats and purple floral tones. The amplitude of this wine always amazes me. Everything just resonates perfectly; fruit, tannin and acidity are all in harmony and the arc across the palate is perfectly timed. Stunning.” 98 points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1450\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003e Varietal – Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1597\"\u003e Country – Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003e Region – Eden Valley\u003cbr data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003e Vintage – 2022\u003cbr data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1659\"\u003e Bottle Size – 1.5L Magnum\u003cbr data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1680\"\u003e ABV – 14.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1694\"\u003e Closure – Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henschke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738670436439,"sku":"HHOGSH-22-1.5L","price":2799.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/d6fe4012-34f4-4094-8bfc-304698e64ec3.jpg?v=1777593570","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/henschke-hill-of-grace-shiraz-2022-1-5l","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
