The 2021 Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard 'Trueman' Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful yet elegantly composed expression of McLaren Vale Cabernet. Sourced from the elevated Clarendon Vineyard, it offers intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with notes of graphite, dried herbs, cedar and dark chocolate. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and beautifully structured, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and exceptional purity of fruit. Long, refined and built for aging, this Cabernet balances richness with precision, making it an outstanding example of premium Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.

"A large-framed wine with captivating aromas of blackcurrant, sage, black olive, rosemary and thyme. The palate is dense and concentrated, revealing layers of ripe dark berries, savory herbs and subtle spice, all wrapped in impeccably refined tannins and beautifully integrated oak. Powerful yet polished, this wine delivers exceptional depth, balance and a long, persistent finish built for extended cellaring."
