Henschke Hill of Grace 2016

The Henschke family have been making wine at their estate in the Eden Valley since 1868. Fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke took over running the winery in 1979. Together with his viticulturist wife Prue, they have taken their two single vineyards, Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone, and transformed them into two of Australia’s most sought-after wines. 100% Shiraz, lifted, exotic aromas of star anise, bay leaf and fennel frame the dark blackberry, mulberry and redcurrant notes. The palate is rich, plush and concentrated with amazing depth and complexity from succulent plum, blackberry and blueberry through to an exotic array of flavours, supported by elegant cedar undertones. Bright acidity provides freshness and structure, while layers of fine, silky tannins result in an elegant finish with exceptional length.
