Hickinbotham
The Hickinbotham vineyard is somewhat of a legend amongst the Australian winemaking community.
Planted in 1971 in the Clarendon region, fruit from this important site has contributed to some of the most iconic wines in Australia's history, including Penfold's Grange, Eileen Hardy and Clarendon Hills.
Recently, the vineyard has undergone somewhat of a renaissance after being purchased by American wine juggernaut, the Jackson family, and being placed into the winemaking care of Yangarra winemaker Peter Fraser and respected American winemaker, Chris Carpenter.
These are elite premium wines that are made limited quantities and are built to mature gracefully. The ultimate addition to any serious collector's cellar.
No. 50 of 100
"Few producers do the more emphatic style of Australian red wine as well as McLaren Vale’s Hickinbotham does. All the wines in this range offer a power of fruit in a well-crafted package. Shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, blends of the two, merlot and cabernet franc, all grown and made to superb standards."
