Earthy, savoury, fresh.
A boutique winery located in the famed Coonawarra, in the Limestone Coast Wine Zone of South Australia, Hollick produces wines only from estate-grown fruit. Coonawarra is recognized as one of Australia's finest wine regions and is particularly known for Cabernet Sauvignon, which responds exceptionally well in its red terra rossa soils over limestone. Pure underground water and a long cool ripening season for the grapes produce wines of elegance and longevity.
This old vines Cab shows distinct aromas: green olives in brine and tomato leaf, black currents and damson plum, peppercorns, boxwood and brown spices with undertone of iron and band-aid.
It has texture and notably savoury flavours--molasses and salted licorice, coffee, dark chocolate and wild berries. Good suppleness here and oodles of acidity to keep it fresh.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive
