Henschke Hill of Grace 2009 is a single-vineyard Shiraz from Eden Valley in the Barossa region of South Australia. Henschke is synonymous with fine winemaking in Australia. The family is one of the `First Families` – 10 of the country`s oldest and most respected family-owned, multi-generation wineries. The Hill of Grace single-vineyard Shiraz is the family`s flagship wine. Intense, concentrated and age-worthy, it is considered by many to be Australia`s greatest red wine. "Medium to deep garnet-purple in colour, the nose on the 2009 Hill of Grace is a little closed, though it reveals notes of warm black plums, blackberry coulis and cloves with subtle nuances of dried Provence herbs, forest floor and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, it possesses layers of medium to full-bodied black fruit and earth-laced flesh elegantly structured by a medium to firm level of finely grained tannins, nicely balanced acid and a long finish."
