  • Prue Henschke
    HENSCHKE VINEYARD FOCUS - Prue Henschke PART I: HILL OF GRACE VINEYARD Hill of Grace: this surely is one of the most evocative phrases in the world of wine. It is a translation from the German 'Gnadenberg', a region in Silesia, and the name given to the lovely Lutheran Church across the road. For Henschke it is the name of both the vineyard and the wine that has so captured the heart of the red wine lover. The eight-hectare vineyard on the original 32-hectare block sits at an altitude of 400 metres, and has an average rainfall of 520 millimetres. It is situated at Parrot Hill, an isolated spot that was once an active village. Vineyard Technical Information- HILL OF GRACE : Eden Valley wine region, 4 km north-west of Henschke Cellars at Keyneton, in the Barossa Range, South Australia. : Shiraz (on own roots).
