The 2016 Hickinbotham The Revivalist Merlot from Clarendon, McLaren Vale is a rich and elegant expression of Merlot sourced from the historic Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard, one of the region’s most respected high-altitude vineyard sites. This wine reflects the power and refinement that Clarendon fruit can deliver.
The nose shows generous aromas of black cherry, plum and blueberry, layered with notes of cocoa, cedar and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture. Concentrated dark fruit flavours are supported by fine tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a long, polished finish.
The 2016 The Revivalist Merlot pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled beef, mushroom dishes and rich pasta.
