Image number 106
"Hill of Grace" is a translation from the German ‘Gnadenberg’, a region in Silesia, and the name given to the lovely Lutheran church that overlooks the Hill of Grace vineyard owned by Henschke in the Eden Valley of South Australia. The 4ha single-vineyard shiraz planting is situated at the historic village of Parrot Hill 4km north-west of Henschke Cellars. The small vineyard in front of the church is the most important single wine vineyard in Australia.
