Ageing gracefully

On a hot dusty Friday two weeks ago in Keyneton’s Eden Valley, a few days shy of vintage, Stephen and Prue Henschke celebrated 50 years of Hill of Grace and marked the new release, the 2007. It was quite an occasion; this red is widely regarded as Australia’s most renowned single-vineyard wine. Some of those majestic vines are 150 years old – and possibly the oldest Shiraz in the world, writes Jane Faulkner in The Age.
