The Hill of Roses Shiraz is a luxurious and expressive wine that embodies the boldness of the Eden Valley terroir. The 2021 vintage is particularly captivating, offering a beautiful complexity that marries the intensity of ripe dark fruit with the elegance of spice and oak. Drawing from the same vineyard as the Hill of Grace but showcasing its own unique personality, this wine delights with its balance of power and finesse. It’s a wine that’s as much about texture as it is about flavor, with fine, velvety tannins that elevate its long finish. Henschke’s Hill of Roses is an exceptional example of premium Shiraz, ideal for those who appreciate both depth and sophistication in their glass.

... This is a taut, firmly structured wine whose heady notes of sandalwood, liquorice, black pepper and tamarind are interwoven with ripe bramble and blood plum fruits, all draped over sinewy tannins. The finish has phenomenal length.

— Natasha Hughes MW, Decanter, 97 Points

... The best Hill of Roses I have tasted. A stunning wine, which got better and better with time open... The balance is so exemplary that one does not even notice it. Seamless and elegant, the tannins here are delicate silk. An astonishing wine of great length which will provide pleasure for the best part of three decades.

...The palate is seamless, with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mulberries, dried herbs, graphite and pepper. It is so pure and refined with an underlying tension...

— Ryan Montgomery, JamesSuckling.com, 97 Points

This release sees the 20-year anniversary of this wine and what a cracking vintage to celebrate the milestone. ...A wonderful and enveloping expression of pure dark and black fruits on the palate; graceful, sleek and perfectly poised, set to a backdrop of cascading powdery tannins and a bright mineral cadence. An excellent release.
