Tasting Notes

Palate

The 2022 Trueman reveals blueberry, sage, dark chocolate, black olives, currant and savory notes with refined tannins.

Vinification

Hand-picked, destemmed, sorted and gently crushed to open top fermenters. Pumped over daily with a minimum of 21 days on skins. Basket pressed with light pressings included in free run directly to 60% new and used French oak barriques. Blended after 14 months and matured for a further 4 months in French oak before bottling. Bottled December 2023.

Vintage Notes

The 2022 growing season followed very similar conditions to 2021, though slightly cooler. There were favourable winter rains and a mild flowering and fruit set period. The cool ripening period took place between late January through to harvest in March. Yields were well balanced, and we were pleased with the fruit ripeness, intensity, freshness, and natural acidity.

Winemakers Comments

Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard covers a steep cut of country from the ridgetops above the village of Clarendon to the Onkaparinga River in the gorge below. Since its establishment in 1971, the Hickinbotham Vineyard has become a part of Australia’s wine heritage, supplying fruit to produce many of Australia’s greatest wines. Breathing new life into this historic vineyard, winemakers Chris Carpenter and Peter Fraser are forging a new era of Hickinbotham’s prestigious legacy: building upon and honouring the vineyard’s acclaimed pedigree.

    An exceptional cabernet of flare and precision. Dried sage, bay leaves and a smear of black olives serve as a savory balance to the wave of currants and mint, all riveted to refined tannins and a briny maritime freshness. The more I spend time in the Vale the more I realize just how good cabernet can be. A leader of the pack. Drinkable now, but best from 2030. Screw cap.  Points: 96/100
