The 2024 Wirra Wirra Single Vineyard Hickinbotham Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon sourced exclusively from the renowned Hickinbotham Vineyard in Clarendon, one of South Australia’s most respected high-altitude vineyard sites. The combination of elevation, cooler growing conditions and ancient soils produces Cabernet Sauvignon with exceptional concentration, structure and elegance. This single-vineyard release highlights the distinctive character of the site while showcasing Wirra Wirra’s commitment to producing wines of depth and longevity.
On the palate, it is powerful yet beautifully refined, with flavours of blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum layered with notes of bay leaf, cedar, graphite and dark chocolate. Fine-grained tannins provide impressive structure and length, while vibrant acidity brings freshness and precision. Careful oak maturation adds complexity and texture without overshadowing the fruit, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by savoury detail and classic Cabernet character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for Cabernet Sauvignon lovers seeking a serious single-vineyard wine with pedigree and cellaring potential. The combination of concentrated fruit, refined tannins and the renowned Hickinbotham Vineyard provenance makes it a compelling addition to any collection. Enjoy with decanting now or cellar confidently over the next 10–15 years. Pair with grilled rib-eye steak, roast lamb, beef Wellington, venison or aged hard cheeses.
