Henschke Hill of Grace 2008

From ancient, pre-phylloxera vines in the Eden Valley, the 2008 Hill of Grace is a true icon of Australian Shiraz. Deep ruby in colour, it opens with captivating aromas of boysenberry, blueberry, violets, and warm spice, layered with hints of cedar and leather. The palate is rich and complex, revealing dark plum, cherry, blue fruits, and exotic spice, all wrapped in fine, velvety tannins. Elegant, powerful, and remarkably long on the finish, this vintage showcases both the grace and strength of its legendary single vineyard.

Perfect for collectors or special occasions, this wine is drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve for decades.
