Hickinbotham The Revivalist Merlot 2022
The Revivalist is an elegant, expressive take on the variety, grown on the elevated slopes of Clarendon and farmed organically since 2019.
The 2022 vintage delivers a wine that feels plush but never heavy, with dark plum and mulberry at the core, lifted by notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh tobacco and subtle spice from seasoned French oak. A cool, slow ripening season helped retain freshness and energy, while 50% new oak and a stint in foudre bring polish and depth.
On the palate, the wine is seamless and composed - silky tannins, ripe but savoury fruit, and a bright acid line give shape to a long, composed finish. It’s a Merlot with structure and class, far removed from the soft and soupy styles of old.
A quietly confident red that will reward both near-term drinking and mid-term cellaring.
