Cabernet Sauvignon grows in ideal conditions on the Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard thanks to the combined influence of elevation, aspect, prevailing winds, weather and ancient soils. The ability to consistently retain expressive and fragrant aromas and obtain deep tannin ripeness with concentrated fresh flavours makes Trueman one of the estate’s most highly regarded wines. Violet, blueberry, purple olive and cedar aromas lead to rich blueberry, blackberry and plum flavours. Tannins are long and layered, delivering exceptional depth of flavour and a long, seamless impression that ages very well.

The season opened with generous rainfall, carrying cool wet conditions through spring. These conditions shaped balanced canopies and modest yields while LaNiña brought cooler days and steady rains. Shoot thinning and leaf removal enhanced airflow and sun exposure. Picked before Easter, the wines reveal rare elegance - delicate, graceful expressions from a cool vintage.

Hand-picked, destemmed, sorted and gently crushed to open top fermenters. Pumped over daily with a minimum of 20 days on skins. Basket pressed with light pressings included in free run directly to 60% new and used French oak barriques. Blended after 14 months and matured for a further 4 months in French oak before bottling in October 2024.
