The 2018 Hickinbotham Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and refined expression from McLaren Vale, Australia. This wine, from the historic Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard, bears the name of Alan Trueman, a pioneer in Australian viticulture and an important figure in the development of quality wines from this region.<\/p>\n
The grapes for this wine are harvested by hand from carefully tended vineyards that benefit from the unique combination of calcareous soils and a temperate climate. These conditions promote slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine with depth, balance and impressive concentration.<\/p>\n
In the glass, the 2018 Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself with a deep ruby red colour. The bouquet is intense and refined, with aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, graphite and a subtle hint of mint and eucalyptus. On the palette, the wine offers firm, well-integrated tannins, lively acids and a velvety texture. Flavours of dark chocolate, cedar and a hint of spice lead to a long, elegant finish.<\/p>\n
The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new. This ageing adds complexity and finesse, while maintaining pure fruit expression.<\/p>\n
With a storage potential of 15 to 20 years, this wine is best enjoyed alongside refined dishes such as grilled lamb chops, roasted ribeye or a rich game stew. The 2018 Hickinbotham Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant example of Australian craftsmanship and the unique character of McLaren Vale.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[79],"product_tag":[113],"class_list":{"0":"post-1411","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-rode-wijnen","7":"product_tag-hickinbotham","8":"pa_regio-mclaren-vale","9":"pa_wijnhuis-hickinbotham","10":"desktop-align-center","11":"tablet-align-left","12":"mobile-align-center","13":"ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider","14":"ast-product-gallery-with-no-image","15":"ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal","17":"first","18":"instock","19":"taxable","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1411"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1775,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1411\/revisions\/1775"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1411"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1411"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kemmewines.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
