Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz is one of Australia's greatest wines. It now stands alongside Penfolds Grange as the country's most sought after and talked about red wine. It is more rare, however, being from a single Eden Valley vineyard rather than from a variety of regions and vineyards around South Australia.
The world's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker, wrote this review of the Henschke Hill of Grace shiraz 2001:
"100% Shiraz aged 18 months in 100% new French and American oak, is not a blockbuster, but rather a surprisingly elegant, full-flavoured Shiraz offering notes of mocha, white chocolate, pepper, blackberry liqueur, and cassis. Fleshy and earthy, with outstanding purity, richness, and overall symmetry, it is a complex, more evolved example of this cuvée. It should age nicely for another 12-15 years. 93 points."
