Tasting Notes
Aroma
Lifted aromatics
of cranberry, bramble, and cherry.
Appearance
Bright vibrant purple in the glass.
Palate
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.
Vinification
The fruit was hand-picked on the 3rd 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 2025.
Food Matching
Vegetable lasagne with a rich béchamel.
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 the last Grenache harvested with a very
long hang time on the vine to produce a very well-developed
flavour profile.
