Exceptional Langtons Classification. Hill of Grace is a unique delineated single historic vineyard, one of the nation's earliest plantings. The site lies opposite a beautiful old Lutheran Church, built of local field stone, which was euphoniously named Gnadenberg.
Vintage 2005 was early and warm, quick and exhausting. Warmer than usual autumnal weather caused an early, compact harvest. The late Indian summer lasted into May, well after all the fruit was brought in, at maturity levels, flavour and colour profiles not seen before the 2002 vintage. The quality of 2005 is sure to be ranked as one of the best on record, after 2002, with all vineyards yielding fruit of the highest order. The signature varieties for Eden Valley, especially Shiraz, performed brilliantly. The handpicked grapes are treated to a traditional vinification in open-top fermenters. Matured in a combination of new and prior use French and American oak hogsheads for twenty one months prior to assembling. Alcohol 14.5%
TASTING NOTES
Deep crimson with vibrant hues. Complex aromas of blackberry, mulberry and plum with exotic Asian spices, tar, anise and cedar. The sweet, fleshy palate is soft and lush with excellent structure and depth finishing with fine, velvety, mature tannins, great length and intensity.

About the Henschke Winery
Henschke is one of the longest established family names in the Barossa
Johann Christian Henschke purchased land for a farm at Keyneton in 1861, after fleeing religious persecution in Silesia. He planted a small vineyard and an orchard, and after initially making wine for family consumption produced his first commercial vintage in 1868, believed to be principally riesling and shiraz. Each subsequent generation built upon the reputation for quality, but it was fourth-generation Cyril Alfred Henschke who in 1958 created the wine that has most captured the red wine world's imagination - Hill of Grace.
