Product Notes

Hickinbotham The Revivalist Merlot is an exquisite Australian red wine of exceptional imminence. Its bouquet releases pleasant hints of red and black fruits, beautifully combined with tones of vanilla and spices. On the palate, it's defined by an outstanding rich texture that's dense yet velvety, accompanied by a generous, powerful taste that reflects its fruity nuances. This Merlot is aged in French oak barrels that influence its mild smoke notes, adding complexity to its character. The finish is persistent, leaving a captivating taste. Suitable for ageing, it's a perfect accompaniment for rich meat dishes and aged cheeses.

Tasting Notes

The Revivalist has a powerful bouquet of black cherry, milk chocolate and a touch of bay laurel. Bold flavours of blackberries and barrel toast are enveloped in a lush mouthfeel. Hardly lacking in structure, the wine is incredibly balanced with beautiful acidity and pronounced yet delicate tannins. Concentrated but with a clear verve, the Revivalist leaves an indelible mark.
