Henschke Hill of Grace 2017

A graceful and poised expression of Eden Valley Shiraz, the 2017 Hill of Grace reflects both a cooler vintage and the enduring character of one of Australia’s most iconic single vineyards. This vintage offers exceptional elegance, purity of fruit, and fine structure—hallmarks of a truly age-worthy wine.

The bouquet is aromatic and lifted, showing notes of dark cherry, blackberry, rose petal, sage, and black pepper, with hints of anise, cedar, and earth. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied yet deeply concentrated, unfolding with layers of red and black fruits, savoury spice, and silky tannins that carry into a long, refined finish.

A superbly balanced wine that speaks of place, heritage, and vintage—ready to enjoy now or cellar confidently for decades.
