Our family – the Hickinbothams – have been proud contributors to the Australian wine industry for over 80 years and over four generations. Our state, South Australia, is the historic heart of Australian wine and home to some of the most famous regions and the oldest vines in the country.
We have grapes and wine etched into our DNA. Back in 1929, Alan Robb Hickinbotham (“Hick” to his mates) was Australia’s first wine science lecturer and the founding father of winemaking education in Australia, establishing the now world-famous Oenology programme at Roseworthy Agricultural College, here in South Australia. Hick’s research laid the foundations for a technically advanced Australian wine industry and his legacy still lives on in our family and in our wine.
