Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard The Peake Cabernet Shiraz 2016 3pack14% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

PALATE

The wine has an unctuous elegance that caresses the palate with a structure that is exceeded only in its width by its length.

VINIFICATION

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (57%) and Shiraz (43%). Sourced from 1971 (100%) planted on the Estate. All batches were fermented separately and blended prior to bottling. These batches of Cabernet and Shiraz represent the pinnacle wines from the Estate, our vision is to produce a seamless integration of the best of both varieties, with great aging potential. The winemaking follow suit from the previous wines, this wine is about the best blocks of the vintage and best barrels being carefully blended.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

A luxurious combination of soft ripe autumn berries with fresh cool country cherries, this wine exemplifies the harmony that can be achieved by blending these two noble grapes together.
