Hickinbotham Claredon Vineyard

Alan Hickinbotham founded the vineyard named after him in 1971 when he planted Cabarnet Sauvignon and Shiraz, from which he produced some of the best grapes for Australia's largest wines, including Penfolds Grange Hermitage and Eylyen Hardy. Clarendon is a subregion of the famous geographical location McLaren Vale. While the entire McLaren Vale region is known for producing classic expressive wines that are rich, bold and intense in taste, the Clarendon sub-region produces wines with a similar profile but with elegance and finesse. Located in the northernmost part of McLaren Vale at an altitude of 820 feet, which exposes it to colder temperatures from most of the region, the Clarendon area is blessed with large daily ranges, resulting in world-class crops. . Although the vineyard was purchased by Jackson Family Wines in 2012, it is so special that the family creates a separate label that shows the legacy of Clarendon and Hickinbotham. Today, Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and the leading Cabernet-Shiraz blend are grown there.

Merlot

Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
