DESCRIPTION
Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2019 originates from the legendary Hill of Grace vineyard in the Eden Valley, planted in the 19th century with pre-phylloxera material and cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices. The grapes, sourced from vines aged 35 to over 160 years old, are hand-harvested, vinified in traditional open-top fermenters, and aged in French and American oak barrels. It features 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.49, and 6.3 g/L of total acidity. Aging potential of 30 years and more.
On the nose, spellbinding aromas of black plum, cocoa, blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, enhanced by evocative spicy notes of star anise, nutmeg, aromatic herbs, and black pepper. On the palate, fine and elegant with complex flavors of spicy black fruits, with a refined acidity supporting silky, velvety tannins for a long, persistent finish of great finesse.
