It’s about creating a wine with many layers of flavour in a complex composition of intense fruit characters, magnificent structure, a rich lustrous texture, long velvety tannins and a lingering palate. Harvested at optimum maturity and flavour, fruit from each vineyard was crushed, destemmed and fermented separately for seven to twelve days on skins.

Its beginnings can be traced back to Ronald Angas' initial plantings in 1912, likely sourced from William Gilbert at Pewsey Vale Station. Due to quarantine laws in 1899, the use of existing state materials was mandated. Cultivated on the original pre-phylloxera vines, thriving in sandy loam and gravelly clay, this 16-hectare vineyard adopts biodynamic practices. The inaugural Claret was crafted by Cyril Henschke in 1952, and the family acquired the vineyard in 1974, dedicating efforts to enhance soil and vine health. With a legacy spanning over 60 vintages, this Shiraz encapsulates the floral essence and unique terroir of Eden Valley. Its vinification involves submerged cap fermentation and 18 months of oak maturation in a blend of new and seasoned French and American hogsheads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrick red in colour.

New Year temperatures would eventually crescendo in ensuing months, dry conditions would persevere and March the 3rd served as a pivot point—cleaving the vintage into the two well defined halves resulting in a profound difference in quality of fruit picked.

This is a special and unique terroir which has been producing wine this way since the mid 1800's. The vineyard area of Langhorne Creek today has expanded well outside this original flood plain and the growing conditions in the new vineyards are quite different. One could make a good argumentfor the appellation Langhorne Creek to be used exclusively for the historic flood plain land. The 20 Rows' vines are quite Iow yielding for the area at around 3-4 tons\/acre. They are growing on their own roots as the region is free of phylloxera. The soil in this vineyard is a deep alluvial clay loam with an almost shimmering quality about it which produces small, black-coloured and perfectly formed Shiraz berries, packed with flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eNoon Reserve Shiraz is matured in small (300 lite) French and American oak barrels for 18 months. We use approximately 30-40% new oak for this wine, with the aim of adding complexity and structure without dominating the fruit flavour. Each year we work closely with the Borrett family to choose the ideal harvest time. Fermentation takes place in our small open vats which are hand plunged to help extract the naturally abundant colour and tannins present in the grapes. After fermentation is complete (typically 10 to 20 days) pressing is done by hand using small manual basket presses and care is taken not to extract too much bitterness or astringency by rough handling and over-pressing. The wine is crushed, fermented, matured and bottled on our property.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eAgeing\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003eNoon Reserve Shiraz is matured in small (300 lite) French and American oak barrels for 18 months.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eVery deep in colour.

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. The handpicked grapes are vinified in traditional open-top fermenters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"cmslanding__image-title\"\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cmslanding__image-title\"\u003eHill of Grace is surely one of the most evocative phrases in the world of wine.
