Hickinbotham Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine forms part of Clarendon Hills’ ‘Grand-Cru’ classification.

Layered and powerful, this expression is recessed and sedate in its early years. Dark fruits are nicely spiced with cinnamon, Black Cardamom, liquorice and cabernet freshness. The most structured of its two sisters, the finely grained talcum texture, majestic depth and balanced savoury complexities are a hallmark of classic old-world styled Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Hickinbotham family are instrumental players in Australian wine history, and Alan Hickinbotham bought this estate in 1960. Clarendon Hills sources wines from this stately vineyard to produce a single site Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and old-vine Grenache – all detailed by the Hickinbotham family name. Richly compact soils provide depth and a signature across the varietal spectrum
