The 2022 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz Gift Boxed is one of Australia's most celebrated single-vineyard wines, sourced from the historic Hill of Grace vineyard in the Eden Valley. Produced from some of the country's oldest Shiraz vines, this iconic wine combines power, detail and remarkable balance. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry alongside notes of sage, star anise, cedar, violet and exotic spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet exceptionally poised, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity providing structure and longevity. Concentrated flavours of dark berries, licorice and spice unfold gradually, complemented by savoury nuances and seamlessly integrated oak. The texture is refined and persistent, leading to an extraordinarily long finish that continues to reveal complexity with time in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a landmark Australian Shiraz for serious collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of the country's benchmark wines. The gift-boxed presentation makes it ideal for significant occasions or cellaring. Pair with premium beef, slow-roasted lamb or aged hard cheeses. While approachable with careful decanting, this wine is built for long-term aging and is expected to evolve beautifully over the next 20–40 years.
