The 2004 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz is one of Australia's most iconic and collectible wines, representing the pinnacle of single-vineyard Shiraz from the historic Eden Valley. Presented in the prestigious 1.5L Magnum format with its Original Wooden Box (OWB), this exceptional release offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Australia's greatest wines in a highly desirable collector's presentation.

Produced by the renowned Henschke family, Hill of Grace is sourced from a historic vineyard in the Eden Valley, with some of its original Shiraz vines planted around 1860. First produced as a single-vineyard wine in 1958, Hill of Grace has become internationally recognised for its remarkable elegance, complexity and longevity.

The outstanding 2004 vintage produced wines of impressive concentration, balance and structure, with the cooler Eden Valley conditions contributing aromatic intensity and refined tannins.

The bouquet is beautifully complex, offering blackberry, blackcurrant, dark plum and ripe cherry alongside violet, black pepper, liquorice and subtle exotic spices. With more than two decades of bottle maturation, additional notes of cedar, leather, tobacco, dark chocolate and earthy savouriness may emerge.

The palate is rich, concentrated and exceptionally refined, displaying layers of dark berry fruit, plum and spice supported by silky, finely structured tannins. Fresh acidity provides balance and definition, while integrated oak and developing savoury complexity contribute to a remarkably long, elegant finish.

The 1.5L Magnum format is particularly desirable for long-term cellaring, as larger bottles generally mature more gradually than standard 750ml bottles. Combined with its Original Wooden Box, this release is an outstanding choice for serious collectors, milestone celebrations and prestigious gifting.

Now entering an attractive stage of maturity, the 2004 Hill of Grace retains the structure and depth associated with this legendary vineyard. With appropriate storage, the Magnum format offers excellent potential for continued development.
