About this Item

2006 Hill of Grace
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Six generations of Henschke’s have made wine on this iconic estate in the Eden Valley, South Australia, the first bottled as early as 1868. Production is focused around Shiraz, but also includes a myriad of wine styles and varieties grown in vineyard sites best suited to their unique characters. These sites include vineyards in the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. The infamous Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone are arguably the two oldest single vineyard Shiraz wines produced in Australia. Current winemaker, Stephen Henschke and his wife Prue run the estate with the help of their children, who will undoubtedly continue the family legacy.

Critics Ratings

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2006 Hill of Grace has some oak poking through the red and blue fruit aromas, with underlying toast, marmite and sage hints. Medium to full-bodied, it is a very tight knit and youthful wine with crisp acid, medium to firm, finely grained tannins and a long finish. Drink it 2014 to 2030+.' - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, 97/100 (Apr 2013)
