✨ Free Shipping over $300 (Excl. NT)
The 1987 Henschke Hill Of Grace Shiraz is an extraordinarily rare and collectible release from one of Australia's most legendary vineyards. Produced by Henschke, Hill Of Grace is sourced from a tiny parcel of ancient, ungrafted Shiraz vines planted around the historic Gnadenberg Lutheran Church in Eden Valley. Widely regarded as one of the world's greatest expressions of Shiraz, Hill Of Grace has built an unrivalled reputation for elegance, complexity, and remarkable longevity.
The 1987 vintage represents a significant chapter in the history of Hill Of Grace. Produced during an era when Australian fine wine was only beginning to gain international recognition, this wine demonstrates the extraordinary ageing capability of the vineyard and the timeless nature of Henschke's traditional winemaking philosophy.
After more than three decades in bottle, the wine has evolved into a deeply complex and nuanced expression. The bouquet reveals layers of dried blackberry, plum, fig, and black cherry, intertwined with notes of cedar, leather, tobacco leaf, exotic spice, dried herbs, earth, and forest floor. With aeration, further tertiary complexities emerge, including truffle, game, antique wood, and savoury balsamic notes.
The palate is graceful and fully mature, with beautifully integrated tannins and exceptional harmony. The fruit has softened into a complex tapestry of savoury flavours while retaining freshness and balance. Silky texture, refined structure, and remarkable persistence carry through to a long, elegant finish that reflects the pedigree of this historic vineyard.
Given its age, provenance and storage history are critical factors in determining individual bottle condition. Well-cellared examples can still offer an unforgettable tasting experience, showcasing the subtlety and complexity that only decades of maturation can provide.
This is a wine for serious collectors and enthusiasts—a rare opportunity to experience a mature Hill Of Grace from one of the classic vintages of the 1980s and a significant piece of Australian wine history.
