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. Cyril Henschke made the first single-vineyard wine from the vineyard in 1958 using handpicked grapes vinified in traditional open-top fermenters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970618933563,"sku":"SK88841956","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/1998_Henschke_Hill_of_Grace_Shiraz_750ml_Original_Wood_Box.png?v=1774912798"},{"product_id":"2013-penfolds-bin-389-cabernet-shiraz-750ml","title":"2013 Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 750ml","description":"\u003cdl class=\"col-12 mb-0 px-0\"\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"col-12 mb-0 px-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"small text-muted pb-1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e2018 - 2035\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCritic tasting note: \"Sometimes referred to as a “Baby Grange,” Penfolds has made Bin 389 in 47 consecutive vintages.

Climatic conditions favoured flowering and set with mild and calm weather, however there was some shatter in Shiraz across parts of the state. Minimal frost and disease pressures allowed for excellent vine canopy development. November and December conditions were mild to average, providing good conditions for even ripening. Harvest also continued over a long period optimising colour, flavour and tannin development. The long and late South East harvest was particularly conducive to excellent flavour development in Cabernet. 2009 proved to be a slightly later vintage compared to the previous years.

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 story of the GAJA Winery can be traced to a singular, founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery, producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Since that time, the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand, notably that of Clotilde Rey, Angelo Gaja’s grandmother. Her passion for uncompromising quality influenced and informed Angelo Gaja. Through Angelo, these values have become the cornerstone of the GAJA philosophy and are engrained in every aspect of wine production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1961, Angelo Gaja began his mission of bringing this great winery to an even higher level. He was the first to use barriques, 225-liter French oak barrels. Under his direction, GAJA pioneered the production of single-vineyard designated wines and was the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc varietals in Piedmont. He was also instrumental in elevating the native Nebbiolo grape to world-class esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Angelo Gaja is joined by the fifth generation of the GAJA family – his daughters Gaia and Rossana and his son Giovanni. Together they continue to advance the winery’s legacy. To fully realize their vision, all GAJA wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards, including 250 acres in Piedmont’s Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Pieve Santa Restituta (Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda (Bolgheri). It is from these storied vineyards, and their terroir – the combination of soil, weather and vines that grow upon them, that GAJA wines reveal their true heart and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970641674555,"sku":"SK91389107","price":225.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/2023GajaRossj-BassLangheChardonnay750ml_20362e65-54c5-4f73-bcc2-a80d3702d3ee.png?v=1761867131"},{"product_id":"2013-domaine-a-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml","title":"2013 Domaine A Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__text-section\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEstablished in 1973, the historic Stoney Vineyard is the oldest in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley.
