Dense crimson with violet hues at the rim. Distinctly Cabernet! The nose is a complex amalgam of blackcurrants, plums, cassis, black olives & chocolate. The palate is deep, complex & brooding with layers of flavour. Blackberry, dark plum, mulberry & cassis are supported by notes of mocha & graphite. The rich & round mid-palate is backed up with a core of minerality & an abundance of super fine tannins. The finish is long & pronounced with classic balance & structure. The best parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Hollick vineyards are earmarked for Ravenswood & experience tells us that this fruit will typically come from the oldest vines growing in the very shallow terra rossa soil over limestone on the Wilgha & Neilson's Block vineyards. These vineyards are linked by Ravenswood Lane. Early spring rains in Coonawarra after a dry winter promoted excellent budburst & flowering. The cool conditions in February allowed good flavour development before the heat of March hastened ripening. The vintage yields were below average, with the fruit showing intense colour & rich ripe flavours. The grapes were picked at optimum flavour & tannin development & balanced natural acidity. Once in the winery the utmost care was taken to preserve the fruit characters developed in the vineyard. The wine was then matured for a further 18 months in tight grained French oak barriques. ...

Bright golden straw in appearance. Clean & fresh aromas of dried apricot & honey with citrus notes of grapefruit. A rich & luscious palate of concentrated stone fruit & citrus flavours.

The 2010 ' The Nectar' is made from a select combination of our Coonawarra Riesling & balanced with selected parcels of Chardonnay, & Semillon from our Wilgha vineyard.

Hollick - The Nectar Botrytis Riesling 2015 37.5cl Bottle

Appearance: Golden straw. Aromas: Lifted aromas of citrus and honey. Flavours: A deliciously rich palate filled with stonefruit and citrus giving way to a crisp acidic backbone culminating in a refreshingly pleasant finish. The Nectar is made from Coonawarra Riesling from the Wilgha vineyard. The summer of 2015 was a classic with warm days and cool nights due to the upwelling of deep cold water off the coast of the region. This allowed the fruit to ripen and develop intense fruit flavours. Hanging on the vines until late in the season, the harvest was delayed until the botrytis had crept its way throughout the entire vineyard. Slowly dehydrating the berries, it produced the concentrated, incredibly sweet and flavourful fruit required for making a wine of this style. The
fruit was carefully selected and harvested by hand to ensure the integrity of the wine. Gentle pressing and a long cool fermentation retained the vibrant freshness of flavours before the wine was clarified, stabilised and bottled.
