The original stone winery at the estate is still used for production and Wendouree's 12 hectare (30 acre) vineyard is planted to old vine Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Mataro, and Muscat of Alexandria – most of which was planted in the late 1890s to early 1900s. The Wendouree vineyard is dry farmed and grapes are handpicked. In the winery, wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top, stainless-steel fermenters. Post-ferment, French oak barrels are sourced for aging for up to 12 months.

The Grandfathers, as the vines on the oldest block are called, were planted on their own roots around the 1860s by an ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki, using pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by the early settlers. By the time third-generation Paul Alfred Henschke took over the reins in 1914, the famous Hill of Grace vines were over 50 years old and flourishing in the rich alluvial soil of the shallow fertile valley.

They were planted around the 1860s by an ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki, in rich alluvial soil in a shallow fertile valley just north-west of the winery. Hill of Grace is a unique delineated single historic vineyard. The vineyard lies opposite a beautiful old Lutheran Church, built of local field stone, which was euphoniously named Gnadenberg, meaning Hill of Grace. Cyril Henschke, the fourth generation, made the first single-vineyard wine from these vines in 1958. The original vines are now over 100 years old.

In the Penfolds tradition of trial and innovation our winemakers embarked on a project in 1995 titled 'RWT' - meaning 'Red Winemaking Trial' - to create a new Australian Shiraz integrating the rich, generous flavours of Barossa Valley Shiraz with the finesse of tightly-grained French oak. The result is a fine wine of great elegance and depth of flavour. RWT is second only to Grange in the Penfolds Shiraz hierarchy, although the two wines are stylistically different. RWT expresses Shiraz more openly than Grange. This is partly a function of the grapes themselves and partly a result of maturation in French oak, rather than stronger, sweeter-flavoured American oak.

The nose reveals blackberry, plum, cedar, and tobacco, lifted by notes of licorice, espresso, and earth. The palate is refined and savoury, with black fruits, spice, and fine-grained tannins integrated into a supple, medium-bodied frame. Mature oak notes of mocha and dark chocolate add complexity. The finish is long, elegant, and polished, making this a Grange that leans towards grace rather than sheer power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1801\"\u003eCritics’ Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1849\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1806\" data-end=\"1849\"\u003e90 points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003e93 points – Wine Spectator\u003cbr data-start=\"1878\" data-end=\"1881\"\u003eWhile less celebrated than surrounding vintages such as 1996 and 1998, the 1997 is valued by collectors for its accessible style, mature savoury complexity, and rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2080\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2078\"\u003eTechnical Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2345\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2083\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003eRegion: Multi-regional South Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2183\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2183\"\u003eBlend: Predominantly Shiraz with ~5% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2184\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2186\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003eAlcohol: ~13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2204\" data-end=\"2264\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2264\"\u003eMaturation: 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2282\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2267\" data-end=\"2282\"\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2283\" data-end=\"2345\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2345\"\u003eDrinking Window: 2008–2035 (now drinking at full maturity)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2347\" data-end=\"2662\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2347\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003eA Collectible Gem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2368\" data-end=\"2371\"\u003eThe 1997 Penfolds Grange Shiraz is a distinctive expression within the Grange lineage—more elegant than monumental, yet deeply complex and age-worthy.
