About this Wine

The ‘Old Orchard’ Cabernets vines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot) are planted on high, rocky terrain – they revel in it.  This Cabernet exudes power, coating the palate with rich dark fruits from front to back.  Tannin and oak provide all the length and structure required.  Extended cellaring will reward those with patience.

About the Winery

"Helen's Hill Estate is named after the previous owner of the property, Helen Fraser. Venture partners Andrew and Robyn McIntosh and Roma and Allan Nalder combined childhood farming experience with more recent careers in medicine and finance to establish and manage the day-to-day operations of the estate. It produces two labels: Helen's Hill Estate and Ingram Rd, both made onsite.

Scott McCarthy started his career early by working vintages during school holidays before gaining diverse and extensive experience in the Barossa and Yarra valleys, Napa Valley, Languedoc, the Loire Valley and Marlborough. The winery, cellar door complex and elegant 140-seat restaurant command some of the best views in the valley. Exports to the Maldives, Hong Kong and China." 5 Star Winery Rating - James Halliday
