Benchmark Award for Inner City Winemakers 2015 Hilltops Cabernet Sauvignon
Newcastle’ s Inner City Winemakers have been awarded a 5-star rating by Winestate Magazine and are now in the running for the Wine of the Year Award.
The award winning 2015 Inner City Winemakers Hilltops Cabernet Sauvignon is also featured in the current edition of Winestate. It’ s a wine that winemaker Rob Wilce created using some outstanding grape sourced from Hilltops at Young, NSW. The fruit was cold soaked for 48 hours before fermentation and hand plunged every 4 hours during ferment. Matured for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak, Rob applied a highly traditional, hands-on approach to producing this very special drop!
“ We’ ve consistently produced bronze medal winning wines from our unique, bespoke winery, right in the industrial heart of Newcastle, but being a relatively small and new producer an accolade like this is very exciting to us. It acknowledges that we’ re more than capable coming up with exceptional wines,” Rob said.
