Critic reviews

James Halliday – "By far the best single-vineyard iteration of this range. Clarendon. Ferrous. Bloodstone, damson plum, crushed mint, raspberry coulis and dried thyme. Such vivacity, drive and length, positioned between a compact framework of tannins extracted with such exactitude and confidence. Compression and release manifest as brilliance." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday)

Description
Part of their premium SV Grenache range, the fruit used to make this wine is sourced from a single vineyard in the Clarendon area of McLaren Vale. The highest altitude wine in the range with vibrancy and crisp acid drive, red fruits mingle with herbal briar characters to create a wine of freshness and depth.

Bright vibrant purple in the glass. Lifted aromatics of cranberry, bramble, and cherry. Herbal characters abound on the palate, with rosehip, just-ripe strawberry, and blood orange flavours. A rasp of light tannin provides good length and a savoury finish. The Hickinbotham Grenache has great energy and vitality in a medium bodied frame.

Sourced from Blocks 111-113 at the highest elevation of the Hickinbotham vineyard in
Clarendon. A southerly aspect provides respite from the hot afternoon sun during ripening ensuring that this fruit is the last Grenache harvested with a very long hang time on the vine to produce a very well developed flavour profile.

The fruit was hand-picked on the 6th April and processed as a 100% whole bunch ferment. After a slow and cool ferment the fruit was pressed to large format neutral French oak where it remained on full lees until racking for bottling in February 2023.
