Notes

The 2017 Single Vineyard Release shares the story of one season and four single sites under the custodianship of this sixth-generation winemaking family. Oh my; you don’t have to do any of the work on the bouquet: it has the most immediate and complex burst of warm spices, licorice, wild flowers, purple and black fruits. But in the end, it’s the intensity and length of the palate that is the measure of its greatness. Drink to: 2047; Alcohol: 14%; Rating: 99 Points; James Halliday; The Weekend Australian Magazine; May 2022 Muscular with great vitality and sensuality, Hill of Grace 2017 combines gravitas with grace. Supple swathes of fruit – blackberry with blueberry and red cherry – come scented with china ink, tinder bush, black pepper, star anise, wattleseed, tea leaf and baking spices. Tobacco pouch, mulch and subtle game undertones strike a savoury note. Rafts of seamless, spicy tannins build and buoy layers of flavour. Terrific authority, strength, complexity and length.
