Sourced from a single block within the Hill of Grace Vineyard, planted in 1989 and now over three decades of age, this 100% Shiraz is grown under organic and biodynamic practices. Known as the Post Office Block, the site overlooks the historic Parrot Hill and delivers a distinct expression of place. The wine is matured for 20 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads, maintaining detail and vineyard clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003eDeep ruby with purple hues, the aromatics are lifted and precise, revealing boysenberry, blueberry and blackberry layered with pink and black peppercorn, five-spice, bay leaf, anise and sandalwood. The palate is bright and finely structured, showing raspberry, mulberry and black cherry interwoven with dark spice, graphite and cedar. A cool, extended season and reduced yields have shaped a wine of definition and balance, with fine acidity driving a long, seamless finish. In magnum, the format supports a slower evolution, making it well suited to cellaring or serving alongside roast duck or herb-crusted lamb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1708\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1708\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Fragrant Dark Berries\u003cbr\u003eBoysenberry, blueberry and blackberry with peppercorn, five-spice, bay leaf, anise and sandalwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1317\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Bright and Structured\u003cbr\u003eRaspberry, mulberry and black cherry layered with dark spice, graphite and cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Seamless Length\u003cbr\u003eLong and finely balanced with persistent fruit and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e“What a beautiful, super elegant expression of Australian shiraz. What was once a nursery block on the Hill of Grace vineyard is now very much a wine of its own individual style defined by the most attractive florals, red fruits, ease of style and an underlying, deceptive power. Deep aromas of red fruits, plum, dark berries, lifted aromatic violet, fivespice, cassia bark, wood smoke and earth. Spices are integral to the Hill of Roses style and here they shine. Tannins are supple - deceptively so - because they are also structurally solid forming the basis for not only a wine of beauty but also substance.” 99 points - Jeni Port, The Vintage Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e“The 2022 Hill of Roses Shiraz is eminently red-fruited, and this really aligns with my previous perceptions of this wine…each year the vines grow more, and the wine becomes darker, more powerful and more intense. However, it still retains its red-fruited heart throughout all the versions of climate and vintage. This is lighter, fresher and fluffier than the Hill of Grace Shiraz, and the tannins are “easier” somehow.” 98 points – Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e“There is good integration throughout, and the nose does give notes of chocolate, mocha, coffee beans, blackberries and blueberries, aniseed, cloves, cassis and cocoa powder. This is a stunning Hill of Roses, with complexity already evident, great length and perfect balance through to silky, cashmere-like tannins. A seductive and alluring texture completes the picture. Pristine and taut, this will be a star over the next thirty years. Love it, and I expect the score to nudge up a touch further.” 97 points - Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003e Varietal – Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003e Country – Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1683\" data-end=\"1686\"\u003e Region – Eden Valley\u003cbr data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e Vintage – 2022\u003cbr data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1726\"\u003e Bottle Size – 1.5L\u003cbr data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003e ABV – 14.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1761\"\u003e Closure – Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henschke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738683641943,"sku":"HHORSH-22-1.5L","price":1259.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/086e145e-2b4e-4ea8-8894-197352421b60.jpg?v=1777595615","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/henschke-hill-of-roses-shiraz-2022-1-5l","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
