Hill of Grace, sourced from the ancient, low-yielding “Grandfathers” vines in the Eden Valley — some dating back to the 1860s — has long been celebrated for its ethereal depth, aromatic complexity and ability to age gracefully for generations. The 1986 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest of the decade, offering both concentration and extraordinary elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1134\"\u003eThe 1986 season in the Eden Valley delivered ideal ripening conditions: warm, dry weather with cool nights that preserved acidity and aromatic lift.

The bouquet is captivating and layered, opening with aromas of blackberry, mulberry and plum compote, now interwoven with notes of leather, cedar, dried rose, forest floor and tobacco. Hints of five-spice, cured meat, anise, dark chocolate and earthy minerality add depth and nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1954\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is silken, savoury and remarkably harmonious. The once-vibrant dark fruit has softened into a tapestry of dried berries, spice and umami richness. Fine, resolved tannins create a seamless texture, while a gentle line of acidity sustains freshness. Layers of truffle, mocha, smoked herbs and warm earth unfold across a long, hauntingly elegant finish — the unmistakable signature of mature Hill of Grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1956\" data-end=\"2116\"\u003eThis is a superbly preserved example of Australia’s most iconic single-vineyard Shiraz — a bottle that few collectors will ever encounter in pristine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2372\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2129\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eden Valley, South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"2158\" data-end=\"2161\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2174\"\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hill of Grace (single vineyard; vines up to 120+ years old)\u003cbr data-start=\"2234\" data-end=\"2237\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2249\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"2256\" data-end=\"2259\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2259\" data-end=\"2271\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~13.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2278\" data-end=\"2281\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2301\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully mature; exceptional now through 2035 (depending on provenance)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2374\" data-end=\"2476\"\u003eA rare and magnificent piece of Australian wine history — graceful, complex and profoundly expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970614673723,"sku":"SK33445859","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/HENSCHKEHillofGraceShiraz_EdenValley1986Bottle.png?v=1775780568"},{"product_id":"copy-of-1997-henschke-hill-of-grace-shiraz-750ml-wgbx","title":"1998 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 750ml Original Wooden Box","description":"\u003ch4\u003eVintage Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preceding winter was unusually dry, with frosty nights and clear days.

This year, the moon cycles put Easter quite late in the season, so the expectation of a late harvest prevailed…until South Australia experienced its record number of heat days over 40C in January, culminating in the worst bushfire in Eden Valley in living memory. This taste of hell ended in the wettest February in 44 years – all in 48 hours, when we received between 115 and 150mm of rain. Fortunately, Eden Valley and the Adelaide Hills were still in veraison, which allowed the quenching rain to rebalance the fruit, particularly in the older dry-grown vineyards. The yields appeared depressingly minuscule, due to a severe black frost in spring and cold windy weather during flowering in early December.

Frost damage was significant, and spring was cloudy, with good rains pre-flowering, followed by short bursts of hot weather in late November.

January was dry, with a burst of heat prior to a perfectly timed rain event at veraison in early February. The lead up to vintage was cool, cloudy and mostly dry. After our coolest summer for 19 years, a warm autumn provided ideal conditions for ripening in our red varieties, achieving excellent colour, flavour intensity and tannin maturity.

By the time third-generation Paul Alfred Henschke took over the reins in 1914, the famous Hill of Grace shiraz vines were more than 50 years old. 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.

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. The red-brown earth grading to deep silty loam has excellent moisture-holding capacity for these dry-grown vines, which sit at an altitude of 400m, with an average rainfall of 520mm. Hill of Grace is a unique, delineated, historic single vineyard that lies opposite a beautiful old Lutheran church which is named after a picturesque region in Silesia called Gnadenberg, meaning Hill of Grace.

Spring was dry and led into a very mild, dry summer with no disease, resulting in fruit with higher natural acidity, and incredible flavour and colour concentration. January started with dry, hot and windy weather however by the end of the first week, relief came with 60-75mm of rain and a record-breaking coolest January in 11 years. The rain was perfectly timed for the old dry-grown vineyards, and the mild weather that followed from February through to April provided for a fairytale vintage. Most of our white varieties and some Eden Valley shiraz were in before Easter, moving on to the rest of our Eden Valley red varieties soon after, and eventually winding down at the end of April as the rain and cooler temperatures set in. The 2015 vintage has provided stunning signature riesling and elegant shiraz that show extraordinary flavour\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-truncate-more-line js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003eMatured in 85% French and 15% American (29% new, 71% seasoned) hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50431579914555,"sku":"SK98376721","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/2015_Henschke_Hill_of_Grace_Shiraz_750ml_Wood_Box_5583fdba-3ebe-443a-aaad-dc3f3cb27f13.png?v=1769133414"},{"product_id":"2004-henschke-hill-of-grace-shiraz-750ml-original-wood-box","title":"2004 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 750ml Original Wooden Box","description":"\u003cdl class=\"col-12 mb-0 px-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"small text-muted pb-1\"\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"small text-muted pb-1\"\u003eDrinking Window: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e2009-2033\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin and Vineyard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFrom Henschke’s iconic Hill of Grace vineyard in Eden Valley, the 2004 vintage reflects the character of dry-grown, pre-phylloxera vines planted in the 1860s.
