Notes from Henschke:

Hill of Grace 1997
Grape Variety
100% shiraz grapes from pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by the early settlers in the mid-1800s and grown in the Eden Valley wine region.
Technical Details
Harvest Date: 6 -12 April | Alcohol : 14.1% | pH: 3.32 | Acidity: 6.6g/L
Maturation
Matured in new French and American hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.
Background
Over 150 years ago Johann Christian Henschke came from Silesia to settle and farm in the Eden Valley region. By the time third-generation Paul Alfred Henschke took over the reins in 1914, the famous Hill of Grace shiraz vines were more than 50 years old. They were planted around the 1860s by an ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki, in rich alluvial soil in a shallow fertile valley just north-west of the winery. Hill of Grace is a unique delineated single historic vineyard. The vineyard lies opposite a beautiful old Lutheran Church, built of local field stone, which was euphoniously named Gnadenberg, meaning Hill of Grace.
Cyril Henschke, the fourth generation, made the first single-vineyard wine from these vines in 1958. The original vines are now over 130 years old. The handpicked grapes are vinified in traditional open-top fermenters.
Vintage Description
A wet winter, with average rainfall during the 4 month winter period, followed by a mild dry spring, leading to excellent growth, good set and vigour. However frosts caused damage in some vineyards. A mild late “Indian Summer” ended the cool season, ensuring excellent ripening conditions and accumulation of colour and flavour.

Wine Description
Deep crimson to brick red in colour. The wonderful developed bouquet of leather, trufflesand prunes is accented with vanilla and cedar characters and delightful hints of nutmeg, pepper and exotic five spice powder. The palate is voluptuous and layered with lush stewed fruit flavours and fine velvety tannins.
Reviewed November 2009

In a recent Twitter conversation with Henschke, they state this is drinking well now.

@FayeDingaway We opened a bottle of the 97 recently and it was drinking well. It's not a classic vintage so open it within the next 2 years.
