Considered a global 'first growth', Hill of Grace is one of the world's most recognisable wine names. It is the produce of a small parcel of ungrafted vines known as 'The Granfathers', which were planted more than 150 years ago. Annual production is very limited, and the wine is concentrated, ripe and spicy, with plum and blackberry fruit complemented by hints of tar, anise, cedar and bacon. Rich and complex on the palate, with dense, exotic, concentrated black fruit character, it is beautifully balanced with velvety texture, excellent depth and length. Impressive at an early stage, it really comes into its own with ten years' or more bottle age.

Press Review
99/100 - Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Hill of Grace Shiraz is a little reticent on the nose to begin, opening out to a somewhat paradoxically tantalizing Black Forest cake, beef dripping, fertile loam and tree bark nose with hints of black pepper, Marmite, bay leaves, eucalyptus, licorice and baker’s chocolate. The medium to full-bodied palate is a wonderfully intricate mélange of mineral, savory, dark fruits and spice layers, framed by velvety tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing epically. This is a truly great Hill of Grace that has just entered the first stage of its drinking window and should continue to develop beautifully over the next 25+ years.
