Since its establishment in 1971, the vineyard has played a vital role in Australia’s wine heritage, supplying fruit for many of Australia’s most iconic wines. It was not until 2012 that fruit from the vineyard was bottled under its own label, Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This is evocatively aromatic, like a berry patch in summer—all juicy black, blue and raspberry fruit with a scrubby edge of wild thyme and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Hickinbotham’s signature dusty, savory tannins frame a palate that is both sturdy enough for the long haul but succulent enough now for protein-friendly sipping. Hickinbotham.

Crushed fruit, ambient ferment, with 16 days on skins; matured in French barriques (60% new) and foudre for 12 months. Merlot has had a tough trot in this country, but Californian winemaker Chris Carpenter is well schooled in the ways of the grape. This harnesses a more rounded fruit profile, but also with proper linear tannins and drive. It’s a relatively elegant expression, though with a depth of plum and mulberry, subtle florals, graphite, roasted hazelnut and a balanced gloss of classy oak.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96pts | Marcus Ellis | Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan Friendly | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Farming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cloudwine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37283535814811,"sku":"hickinbotham-clarendon-vineyard-the-revivalist-merlot-2019","price":89.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/1585\/8843\/products\/HickinbothamMerlot.jpg?v=1607848292","url":"https:\/\/goodsoulwines.com.au\/products\/hickinbotham-clarendon-vineyard-the-revivalist-merlot-2022","provider":"Good Soul Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
