This is a wine is a living link to the mid-19th century, sourced from a unique, delineated site in the Eden Valley. The heart of the wine remains the \"Grandfather\" vines - pre-phylloxera vines planted around 1860 by Nicolaus Stanitzki. At 160 years old, these low-yielding, ungrafted vines produce a Shiraz that is widely considered one of the greatest and most singular expressions of the variety on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage was one of patience for the Henschke team. A cool, slow start to the season and a late harvest allowed for a degree of flavour development reminiscent of legendary years like 2010 and 2015. While it possesses a dense core of dark, silty fruit, it is remarkably restrained, showing the poise and aromatic lift that can only come from this specific patch of red-brown earth and deep silty loam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tannins are effortlessly silky, weaving through layers of black fruit and exotic spice with a sense of quiet authority. This is a quintessential Hill of Grace - elegant, distinguished, and built for a legendary life in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Australia's true Grand Crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I love the 2022 vintage. It is fresh and detailed. It may forever live in the shadow of the great 2021 vintage, but not for me—I believe firmly this is a sleeper vintage and will reveal its longevity given time.

May also be the best, and that’s saying something. I thought 2021 was the greatest yet, then came 2022.
