The Tipsy Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is from Bec Hardy's vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. The ancient soils and elevation of the Tipsy Hill vineyard offer the perfect conditions for growing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The property also includes a stunning garden, featuring the rare Tipsy Hill Imperial Concubine rose, from which the name originates.

Vineyard: This 1.7Ha block of Cabernet Sauvignon vines is located in Blewitt Springs on an east facing slope protecting it against the harsh afternoon sun. The vines were planted in 1999. This slightly elevated area of McLaren Vale is cooler than on the flats and the resultant wine has good acidity and intensity so will age very well. 

Soils: This vineyard is on deep sandy soils that were once sand dunes, likely from Maslin Sands and Pirramimma Sandstone. The deep sand is over yellow clay, which allows vine roots to travel down deep looking for water. These soils are from the Holocene period (11,700 years old).
