It's been worth the wait, and then some, for this is a flawless Hill of Grace. It's an old cliche, but it's unavoidable: it is the ultimate iron fist in a velvet glove. While the fruit remains supreme, there are savoury tannins to support the 50-year cellaring potential of the wine. It is bottled under screwcap, not the elegant Vino-Lok of past vintages, because you want the most secure closure for ultra-long cellaring. The wine? Perfect colour, fragrant dark cherry/berry aromas and flavours, positive tannin and French oak support, great aftertaste.

For laying down,
It's the story of the farmer ‘too hot, too cold, too dry, too wet'. Well, not exactly, unless it be too dry, because the Eden Valley had no rain for nearly 6 months until 16mm at the beginning of Mar, and frequent weekly cycles of hot and cold prevailed. The patchwork quilt of Hill of Grace was picked in small parcels between 21 Feb and 7 Mar. It's a rock solid (to use a Henschke expression) wine, matured in 86% French and 14% American oak (56% new). There are no dead fruits, but this is a full-bodied Hill of Grace, with blackberry, licorice and anise fruit, the tannins exceptionally well managed, the oak likewise.

Medium garnet in color, the 2010 Shiraz Hill of Grace reveals a slightly reticent yet beguiling nose of kirsch, dried mulberries and plum preserves with nuances of star anise, potpourri, cloves, dusty earth and menthol. Medium to full-bodied with youthfully taut, mouth-filling perfumed berry preserves and exotic spice flavors, the fruit is well framed by rounded, polished tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with incredible length. It could still benefit from 2-4 years in bottle before entering its drinking window but is already stunning.

Hewitson,
Ready, but will improve,
Eden Valley is recognised as one of the world’s great Riesling regions. The wine comes from a single vineyard whose specific topography and mineral profile provide ideal conditions for Riesling. Gun Metal describes the grey-coloured stone amongst the vineyard while symbolizing the steely minerality of the wine. The nose is evocative of honey and jasmine aromas, with nuances of fresh pears and allspice. Light and refreshing on the palate, wit honeyed fruit and baked apple flavors.

Ready, but will keep,
The vineyard was planted in 1912 and, unusually for the time, it was planted exclusively with Shiraz. The soil is composed of clay and loam which causes these 100 year old vines to be low yielding. The wine itself is something of an extrovert, a nose of fresh mint, chocolate and a combination of both red and black fruit. The palate is full, rich and rounded with a pleasing gift of caramel imparted by the oak. These vines certainly aren’t showing their age if this wine is anything to go by.

This site was planted by pastoralist Jospeh Heynes in 1842 who was keen to provide music and culture for other settlers in the region. The wine is peppery on the nose, however the fruit characteristics are cooler, with blueberry, cherry and cranberry evident. The palate has good length, balanced acidity, fine grained well integrated tannins and a poise which can be attributed to its age. This wine is certainly cultured and I am sure the early vintages were consumed with gusto regardless of the quality of the music on offer at the estate.

The nose is exotically spiced, with sage, mocha-espresso notes overlaid by ripe cassis. The palate is fully textured; tannins are present and yet ripe, and the back palate is finely knit together with a savoury, moreish black pepper spice. 2010 has produced an exceptional Mount Edelstone. It is luscious now and tempting to consume in its early days but do not be fooled, there is hidden power and undiscovered depths to this wine which only time will reveal.
