If Grange is the greatest example of a multi-regional Shiraz, then surely the Hill of Grace is the greatest single site expression of the variety. Hill of Grace is carefully crafted by Stephen & Prue Henschke from an 8ha site in the Eden Valley. The 2005 is a stunning, layered masterpiece. Near the top are rose petals, violets and Turkish Delight. Aromas of fruits of the forest and mulberry emerge next, sitting atop deep-seated spice, tar and anise. Truly an incredible Australian wine.

About the region

South Australia · Eden Valley

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
