The 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. At the helm of the historic vineyard since 2012,
winemaker Christopher Carpenter is continuing the winemaking legacy that began
at Hickinbotham nearly 50 years ago.

"Oz Clarke: Very unusual mix of marzipan, dry chocolate and blackcurrant. It is
quite tannic, but does have some violet scent and sap to lift it.
Sarah Jane Evans: Textbook aromas: blackcurrant with a hint of green pepper.
This is a modern and glossy approach to Cab. Fleshy blackcurrants and a firm
undertone of cedar.
Tina Gellie: Quite a jammy Cab, but still has that cassis and green pepper note,
plus soft vanilla oak and grippy tannins.
