Hollick Wines are delighted to announce that their 2006 Hollick Wrattonbully Shiraz won the International Judge’s Trophy at the 2009 Limestone Coast Wine Show.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The wine is a classic Coonawarra Cabernet showing intense cassis fruit flavours, with a long finish on the palate and soft tannins. The wine was matured in a combination of French and American oak, adding to the wine's structure, but not dominating the pure Coonawarra fruit characters.
The fruit for the Cabernet Sauvignon is selected from old vine material from the Wilgha and Neilson's Block vineyards. Located on the famous terra rossa soil, these vineyards were originally planted by Ian and Wendy Hollick in the 1970's and early 1980's.
It will effortlessly cellar for at least 10 years, and is the ideal accompaniment to lamb dishes.
