WINE DESCRIPTION
Henschke Hill of Grace is a highly sought-after wine produced by Henschke, a renowned winery in the Barossa Valley of Australia. The wine is named after the vineyard it comes from, which is located on a gentle slope with red brown earth over deep silty loam. The vineyard is known for its old, gnarled vines that produce low yields of intensely flavored Shiraz grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including open-top fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, complex Shiraz with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Henschke Hill of Grace is a true expression of the unique terroir of the Barossa Valley and a testament to the winery's commitment to quality and tradition.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Australian Shiraz displays a deep, inky hue.On the nose, aromas of dark cherries, blackberry, licorice, and charred oak are present, while the palate is full bodied and chewy, with flavors of dried dates, blueberry, and cinnamon. The finish is long and lingering. An excellent example of a classic Australian Shiraz, the Henschke Hill of Grace is a wine with great balance and complexity.
