2020 Hickinbotham Clarendon Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon grows in ideal conditions on the Hickinbotham Vineyard thanks to the combined influence of elevation, aspect, prevailing winds, weather and ancient soils. The ability to consistently retain expressive and fragrant aromas and obtain deep tannin ripeness with concentrated fresh flavours makes Trueman one of the estate’s most highly regarded wines. Violet, blueberry, purple olive and cedar aromas lead to rich blueberry, blackberry and plum flavours. Tannins are long and layered, delivering exceptional depth of flavour and a long, seamless impression that ages very well.

Hickinbotham Wines, located in South Australia, is a renowned winery known for producing exceptional wines. With a rich history dating back to the 1970s, the estate boasts premium vineyards in the McLaren Vale region. Hickinbotham Vineyard is situated on the high elevation hills of Clarendon, a subregion along the northern edge of McLaren Vale in South Australia. The vineyard historically produced fruit for many of Australia’s most iconic producers but was not bottled under its own label until 2012.

The commitment to quality is reflected in the wineries meticulous vineyard management practices and their use of traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern innovations. Hickinbotham Wines specialises in crafting elegant and expressive varietals, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Their wines exhibit a perfect balance of fruit intensity, complexity, and structure, making them highly sought after.

The 2020 Hickinbotham Clarendon Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon, with its bold and complex flavours, calls for a pairing that can complement and enhance its characteristics. A classic choice would be a well-marbled steak, such as a ribeye or filet mignon, cooked to medium-rare or medium. The richness and juiciness of the steak will harmonise with the wine's intense blackberry and dark cherry notes, while the wine's firm tannins will cut through the meat's richness. For a vegetarian option, a hearty mushroom risotto or a grilled portobello mushroom dish can provide earthy flavours that complement the wine's complexity. Additionally, aged cheddar or blue cheese can serve as delightful accompaniments, adding depth and creaminess to the overall experience.
