DESCRIPTION
Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2021 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 for 18 months in French and American oak barrels. It features 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.49, and 6.3 g/L of total acidity. The 2021 vintage, marked by a cloudy spring followed by heatwaves and winds, allowed for optimal ripening of the grapes. Aging potential of 30 years and more.
On the nose, spellbinding aromas of black plum, cocoa, blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, enhanced by spicy notes of star anise, nutmeg, aromatic herbs, and black pepper. On the palate, fine and elegant with a refined acidity supporting silky, velvety tannins for a long, persistent finish of great finesse.
