Producer Notes
Hill of Grace is surely one of the most evocative phrases in the world of wine. It is a translation from the German ‘Gnadenberg’, a region in Silesia, and the name given to the lovely Lutheran church that overlooks the vineyard. The 4ha single-vineyard shiraz planting is situated at the historic village of Parrot Hill 4km north-west of Henschke Cellars.
Vintage Description
1992 was the wettest year since 1851 with the wettest December recorded in 26 years making the start of the 1993 vintage difficult. Spring weather was unpredictable and not great for flower and berry set resulting in low yields. Constant rain and humidity was a problem, which was compounded by a severe hailstorm in December, further reducing yields. A mild, dry summer pushed harvest back almost a month. April’s warm, dry weather conditions caused unexpected rapid ripening with good sugar and acid balance.
Wine Description
Ruby in colour with ochre hues. Beguiling lifted herbal aromas with overtones of dried cherries, green beans and turned earth. The palate is intense and focused, expressing sweet, juicy berry fruits, tomato stalk herbals and spice, with firm chewy tannins and a long, lean finish.
