Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bright red cherry, super oral rose petal, blueberry pie.
Palate
Savory fruit, black tea, faint tomato, tannins are still quite prevalent.
Vinification
Hand-picked from the old contoured block 208, destemmed and whole berry sorted with light berry breaking to open fermentation. 4-day cold soak, pumped over daily with approximately 21 days on skins. Basket pressed with light pressings added back to free-run, hard pressings separate. Matured in 100% new French oak barriques for 15 months.
Range Notes
The Hickinbotham Block Series is a showcase of exceptional individual vineyard sites, each representing the pinnacle of varietal expression within our estate. This museum collection exemplifies the unique character and richness of our old vines, accentuating the distinct terroir of a singular block. The CC208 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the pinnacle of our vineyard's excellence, meticulously selected from the finest block of old contoured vines. With its rich and concentrated fruit flavours and robust tannins, this wine captures the essence of the land it hails from.
Vintage Notes
Winter rainfall nourished the vines then dropped off significantly for an unseasonably dry and windy Spring. A late Autumn rain slowed the ripening of the vineyard resulting in a further week and a half of hangtime, providing excellent tannin ripeness and allowed harvest to occur in a relatively cool weather pattern. Overall, a terrific result in the wines proving McLaren Vales strength as a viticultural growing region.
