Our Wines

Highbank’s grapes are grown without the use of chemical herbicides or insecticides or fertilisers, and have been farmed according to biodynamic principles for more than 35 years.

The family vineyards are located only on the highest banks of terra rossa soil, overlaying the cigar shaped limestone ridge of the renowned Coonawarra wine region.

The Single Vineyard “Home Block” Family Reserve 100% Cab Sav in 2016 and 2017 vintages are still available as is our 100% Merlot 2015 in 6 bottle cartons.  Purchase direct from Highbank here.

Highbank Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Cabernet Franc (Coonawarra, SA)

The 2013 vintage of this wine is gorgeous: pretty, floral cabernet fruit lift, fine and supple tannins. The 2014 is more savoury and reserved, with elegant dusty tannins, for lovers of old-fashioned claret. Both will age superbly well in the cellar.

Again, the 2013 is the more approachable and eager-to-please vintage: quite plush and voluptuous mulberry fruit framed by firm but yielding tannins. And the 2014 is more restrained and shy, with tight little blackcurrant fruit flavours and cedary, savoury tannin. It needs time in the cellar to reveal all its glorious complexity.
