Hollick Winery Coonawarra South Australia With great foresight Ian Hollick purchased 22 hectares of prime terra rossa land in 1974 & planting began a year later with Riesling & Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1984 Ian established the Hollick Winery & almost immediately began lifting trophies. The estate now measures over 100 hectares in size since the purchase of the Wilgha property. Ian is fiercely independent loves life & refuses to make wines that are overblown or dull which is great news for wine-lovers like myself who prefer to drink a bottle with dinner rather than be served a glass of soup-like Cabernet. 2005 Pinot Noir The warmer climes in Coonawarra make for a rich opulent style of Pinot Noir. Black cherry & plum are to the fore with a core of beautifully sweet fruit vanilla & dried flowers. Silky texture & rounded in the mouth an excellent food wine.
