The Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2006 is an intense deep crimson with violet hues. Complex aromas of concentrated dark berry fruits and blackcurrant with nuances of oriental spices, mint and crushed herbs. The palate is plush and full of rich dark fruit and dried herb flavours, elegant layers of fine tannin and a long, complete and luscious finish. 100% shiraz grapes from pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by the early settlers in the mid-1800s and grown on the Hill of Grace vineyard in the Eden Valley.
The 2006 vintage turned out to be another high-quality year, despite average yields in Eden Valley. After a late start in mid-June 2005, the region experienced some of the best winter and spring rains in years, leading up to early summer flowering. Varieties like Riesling and Shiraz were particularly affected by poor set, resulting in 'hen and chicken' berries. Although frost caused some damage, it had only a minor impact on overall yield, which was down by 15-20% for most varieties. The summer was mild with southerly winds, similar to 2002. Brief heat waves in late January and mid-February were early enough to avoid affecting quality, causing only minor sunburn on exposed fruit. Nearly all whites were harvested by the end of March, an unusual occurrence.
