2021 Hickinbotham
The Peake Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz

A favourable growing season, with good winter rains, a mild flowering and fruit set period and continued spring rainfall. Vines showed good balance of shoot vigour and moderate berry size. The ripening period that began late January was very cool, with some welcome rainfall in mid-February. The cold nights and mild sunny days in March slowed sugar accumulation, resulting in excellent fruit ripeness and intensity. The 2021 Peake Cabernet Shiraz expresses blackberry, roasted espresso, vanilla, and hazelnut with great mid body, length and energy.
