2022 Henschke Hill Of Grace Shiraz Eden Valley

2022 Henschke Hill Of Grace Shiraz Eden Valley – The 2022 Hill of Grace is a profoundly composed and deeply expressive release from one of Australia’s most revered single vineyards. Drawn from ancient, pre-phylloxera vines and handled with remarkable restraint, it captures a rare interplay of power, perfume and precision – less about sheer opulence, more about detail, energy and enduring grace. Highly perfumed and intricately layered, the nose reveals blackberry, blueberry and dark plum interwoven with crushed violet, sage and bay leaf. Exotic spice notes – star anise, clove, nutmeg and five spice – unfurl alongside hints of black olive, graphite and a subtle ferrous edge. There is both immediacy and depth here, with each swirl revealing further nuance. Medium to full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, the palate delivers a concentrated core of dark berry fruit carried by vibrant, finely tuned acidity. The texture is seamless – silky, expansive and precise – supported by beautifully integrated, fine-grained tannins. Layers of spice, savoury herbs and mineral complexity build through the mid-palate, while the finish is extraordinarily long, energetic and composed. There is immense intensity, yet nothing feels heavy; instead, the wine glides with a sense of effortless control and quiet authority. A strikingly refined and age-worthy Hill of Grace – perhaps less overtly powerful than some vintages, but all the more compelling for its elegance, clarity and structural harmony. It is a wine of profound pedigree that will evolve gracefully over decades (20–40+ years), revealing ever greater complexity with time. Single Price: $1,250.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $1,050.00
