Hill of Grace is surely one of the most evocative phrases in the world of wine. It is a translation from the German Gnadenberg, a region in Silesia, and the name given to the lovely Lutheran church that overlooks the vineyard.

1992 was the wettest year since 1851 with the wettest December recorded in 26 years making the start of the 1993 vintage difficult.

Constant rain and humidity was a problem, which was compounded by a severe hailstorm in December, further reducing yields. A mild, dry summer pushed harvest back almost a month. Aprils warm, dry weather conditions caused unexpected rapid ripening with good sugar and acid balance.
