The 2025 Wirra Wirra Single Vineyard Hickinbotham Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium single-vineyard Cabernet from the renowned Hickinbotham Vineyard in McLaren Vale, one of Australia's most historic vineyard sites. Crafted by Wirra Wirra, this wine showcases the vineyard's distinctive character with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, bay leaf and subtle dark chocolate. Matured in French oak, it balances concentration with elegance.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Layers of cassis, black cherry and mulberry are supported by hints of tobacco, cocoa and savoury spice, creating a refined structure and a long, persistent finish. The combination of old-vine fruit and careful oak maturation gives the wine excellent depth and ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon for collectors and lovers of structured, cool-climate Australian reds. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2040 for added complexity. Pair with grilled rib-eye, roast lamb, beef Wellington, slow-cooked brisket or mature hard cheeses.
