Tasting Notes

Vinification

The fruit was hand-picked on the 25th March 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 May 2024.

Winemakers Comments

Part of our 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 the block sitting at around 250m ASL.

Region Notes

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 often the last Grenache harvested with a very long hang time on the vine to produce a very well developed flavour profile.
