First planted in 1971 to dry-farmed Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, Hickinbotham Vineyard is situated on the high elevation hills of Clarendon, a subregion along the northern edge of McLaren Vale in South Australia. The vineyard historically produced fruit for many of Australia’s most iconic producers but was not bottled under its own label until 2012. Led by winemakers Christopher Carpenter and Peter Fraser – and viticulturer Michael Lane – Hickinbotham Vineyard continues its nearly 50-year legacy.

Produced from an exceptional vintage, this is the first release of Malbec from Hickinbotham vineyard, named after the first resident of Clarendon and the nearby Grant’s Gully Road.

The Mr. Grant Malbec exhibits deep raspberry, rose petal, herbs, coffee, and a little pepper. The round tannins and lush middle bring great weight and length.
