1998 | Clarendon Hills | Hickinbotham Cabernet Sauvignon

The Clarendon Hills Hickinbotham Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 showcases a deep, dark ruby color with a slightly tawny rim. On the nose, the wine presents aromas of blackcurrant and plum intermingled with hints of cedar and graphite. The palate is ripe yet retains a firm structure, revealing flavors of dark berries, dried herbs, and a touch of tobacco. Its tannins are finely grained, giving it a balanced mouthfeel with a persistent finish.

Producer Information

Clarendon Hills is a South Australian winery, founded in 1990 by Roman Bratasiuk in the McLaren Vale wine region. Their vineyards are found within the sub-regions of Clarendon, Blewitt Springs and Kangarilla, home to some of the world's oldest vineyards. Wines from Clarendon Hill are varietal expressions, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. They are arranged into a cru-like classification, influenced by Roman Bratasiuk's love for France. The prestige cuvée, Astralis, is labeled as "Premier Grand Cru", and is made from old vines that were planted in 1920. Yields are extremely low, with only around 500 cases produced each year.
