Critics thoughts - āThe 2022 Hill of Grace Shiraz leads with dark fruit and an abundance of exotic spice to match. The tannins are profuse here, quite distinct from the Hill of Roses tasted alongside.Ā Star anise, cloves,cinnamon (cassia), fennel seeds and Sichuan pepper weave in and out of the blackberry, blueberry, crushed quartz/ferrous undertones.Ā There's a sweet rolling-tobacco character that is highly attractive and lingers through the finish. I love the 2022 vintage. It is fresh and detailed.Ā It may forever live in the shadow of the great 2021 vintage, but not for meāI believe firmly this is a sleeper vintage and will reveal its longevity given time.Ā The allure of it now is not in question, either.āĀ 99 POINTS - ERIN LARKIN, THE WINE ADVOCATE

āThis is a wine built to last! Delicate within the idiom of a South Australian Shiraz andĀ beautifully balanced for future consumption. In this wine itās not too difficult to discern theĀ tannins but they are very ripe and very much in the background of the historic fruit. This isĀ recognisable South Australian Shiraz but should be put away for quite a while!āĀ 18++/20 ā JANCIS ROBINSON MW, JANCISROBINSON.COM

āIn 2022, Hill of Grace lives up to its name! The perfume is a joyous concerto of red fruit... the palate shows incredible restraint and composure before blackcurrant notes flood in, consuming every tastebud. This time, the tannins are far more active and combative, on account of theĀ westerly-facing aspect of this vineyard. And while the structure is incredible, there is beguilingĀ elegance throughout. The palate shows extraordinary waves of flavour, and yet despite the depthĀ of flavour, coolness and freshness can be found in every molecule of fruit. Many will compare itĀ to the 2021, but this is not apples-to-apples. The weather changes everything! Instead, oneĀ must keep these two vintages standing side by side, so one can appreciate two sides of one coinĀ and the elemental grace and unpredictability of this ancient plot of vines.ā Ā 19.5+/20 ā MATTHEW JUKES, MATTHEWJUKES.COM
