About Hollick Estates
Established in 1983, Hollick is a boutique winery located on the famed terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, in the Limestone Coast Wine Zone of South Australia. Driven by quality and a hands-on approach, all Hollick Estates wines are crafted from premium estate-grown fruit.
Hollick Estates wines are made from three core vineyards; “Neilson's Block”, planted by Ian and Wendy Hollick in 1975, the nearby “Wilgha” vineyard” purchased in 1987 and the “Red Ridge” vineyard in Wrattonbully developed in 1998, giving Hollick over 85 hectares of vineyard in total. Eighty percent is planted to red varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Barbera and Petit Verdot. The balance of the vineyards is planted with the white varieties Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Savagnin.
Tasting Notes
A wine with gorgeous ripe plum characters with a hint of blackcurrants. There is a background spice that adds complexity, and the finish is smooth and long. Cracking drop from a solid winery.
