The Story

Nicolaus Stanitski, a Henschke ancestor, originally planted the Hill of Grace vineyard during the 1860s above the Barossa Valley. During the 1950s Cyril Henschke took his family concern back to wine and established the Hill of Grace label in 1956. The Shiraz vines – many now over 140 years old – are among the world's oldest genetic Shiraz plant material. It is remarkable that the vineyard remained intact considering the economic uncertainty an...

Vuosikerta 1976

The 1976 wine vintage in Australia was an outstanding, powerhouse, and legendary year that is celebrated as one of the greatest and most concentrated harvests of the 1970s. A prolonged, intensely hot, and dry summer accelerated grape ripening across South Australia, causing varieties like Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon in the Barossa Valley and Coonawarra to pack massive sugar concentration and dense fruit extraction.

Henschke Hill of Grace 1976 – Eden Valley, Australia

The 1976 vintage in South Australia is remembered as one of the classics of the decade, with warm, dry conditions yielding wines of concentration, ripeness, and long-lived structure. The 1976 Hill of Grace is a legendary expression of old-vine Shiraz—profound, complex, and still vibrant after nearly half a century. The bouquet is layered and evocative, with blackberry compote, plum, and mulberry interwoven with smoked meat, leather, licorice, pepper, and eucalyptus, lifted by hints of dried flowers and spice.

On the palate, it is powerful yet beautifully balanced, showing dense dark fruit, savory undertones, and finely integrated tannins. The texture is velvety and expansive, with a mineral edge that adds definition and lift.

The finish is long, resonant, and deeply complex, echoing dark fruit, spice, and earthy nuance. A benchmark vintage of Hill of Grace, the 1976 remains both a piece of Australian wine history and a timeless, world-class Shiraz. 97 points.
