McLaren Vale is a long way from Portugal, home to the Touriga grape, however the climate agrees with it and blending with Cabernet results in a brooding combination of blackcurrant with notes of violets and an intriguing rusticity on the finish. Delicious. The vineyard is situated in the McLaren Vale, which is the truly Hancock "Home" vineyard. The vines are old, some of them are more than 80 year old, and they are planted on South East facing slopes, protected from strong winds and facing the gentle moving sun. There are three distinct soil types at the top middle and bottom sections of the hillside, so we find different characteristics from each of the vineyard sections giving added complexity and interest to the wine we make.
