Description
McClaren Vale in South Australia is known for producing powerful, yet sleek wines, and this wine confirms that reputation. Sourced from the biodynamically and organically farmed Hickinbotham Vineyard, this Cabernet Sauvignon introduces aromas of bergamot (a citrusy, sweet floral note) and blueberry on the way to a strapping, savory and yet elegant palate. Opulent. Cellar-worthy. Memorable.

The inaugural vintage of Trueman radiates ripe blueberry, blackberries and a touch of fresh herb while the palate adds notes of bittersweet chocolate and minerality. The wine continues to uphold incredible structure with perfectly balanced acidity leading to a long profound finish.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Hand-picked, destemmed but whole berries, open-fermented on skins 18 days, basket-pressed, only free-run juice, new and 1yo Bordeaux barrels, aged 15 months. It’s tempting to pour a glass immediately and savour it, for everything from the fruit, cedary oak and tannins to its acidity are in total balance.
