July was the driest since the serious drought of 2003. Spring was mild with few frost events; however, flowering and fruit set were affected by wet drizzly weather in mid to late November, leading to only average yields. Summer was also surprisingly mild with below average temperatures from southerlies off the ocean in January and only two short heat events, at New Year and at the end of February. This provided for a slow ripening period, which allowed for intense fruit flavours, high colour figures, high acidity and mature tannins. Rainfall leading up to vintage was above average, with the heaviest rainfall events in late January and late February, which tied in well with the natural physiology of the dry-grown vines; ie, keeping leaves active at veraison and ripening.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0 small read-more btn-link-primary\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0 small read-more btn-link-primary\"\u003eAgeing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eMatured in 58% new and 42% seasoned (85% French and 15% American) hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending the separate parcels from the vineyard and bottling.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eVery deep crimson with violet hues.

The beautiful Lutheran church across from the vineyard takes the same name and stands as a tribute to the settlers’ German homeland. The Grandfathers, as the vines on the oldest block are called, were planted on their own roots around the 1860s by an ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki, using pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by the early settlers. By the time third-generation Paul Alfred Henschke took over the reins in 1914, the famous Hill of Grace vines were over 50 years old and flourishing in the rich alluvial soil of the shallow fertile valley. Cyril Henschke made the first single-vineyard wine from the vineyard in 1958 using handpicked grapes vinified in traditional open-top fermenters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casey Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44961133953110,"sku":"SK88841956","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5301\/4102\/files\/1998_Henschke_Hill_of_Grace_Shiraz_750ml_Original_Wood_Box.png?v=1781599789"},{"product_id":"1986-henschke-hill-of-grace-shiraz-750ml","title":"1986 Henschke Hill Of Grace Shiraz 750ml","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"798\"\u003eThe 1986 Henschke \u003cem data-start=\"292\" data-end=\"307\"\u003eHill of Grace\u003c\/em\u003e is a profoundly rare and historically significant expression of one of Australia’s most revered single-vineyard wines.

They were planted around the 1860s by an ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki, in rich alluvial soil in a shallow fertile valley just north-west of the winery. The red-brown earth grading to deep silty loam has excellent moisture-holding capacity for these dry-grown vines, which sit at an altitude of 400m, with an average rainfall of 520mm. Hill of Grace is a unique, delineated, historic single vineyard that lies opposite a beautiful old Lutheran church which is named after a picturesque region in Silesia called Gnadenberg, meaning Hill of Grace.
