Through a boundary realignment with our neighbour in 2019, Hewitson acquired 3 Ha of Cabernet Sauvignon, planted 1996 with the lauded LC14 clone in the sub-region of Dorrien, on the left bank of the Para River that runs through Barossa Valley.
This bedrock acquisition provided the opportunity to create a great Cabernet Sauvignon from this famous sub-region. Over the next three years the vineyard was re-worked from head to toe including subterranean drainage then micro-batch winemaking followed its evolution.
Patience has been rewarded with the release of estate-grown The Dorrien Bank Cabernet Sauvignon. Available to purchase online.
