Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz Eden Valley

Eden Valley GI, Australia
Australia's most revered single-vineyard wine from 1860s-planted Shiraz ('Shiraz-Mataro') vines. Profound complexity: dark fruit, truffle, leather, black olive, violets, and a mineral backbone from ancient soil. Requires 10–15 years minimum for full expression.
