Recognizing the importance of building homes in sympathy with the local heritage and natural environment, Hickinbotham invited outstanding planners, architects, landscape designers and artists to create an estate that reflects the unique character of the Barossa.  The Hickinbotham family has a long history in the wine industry and the Barossa, producing and exporting award winning wines. In 1932 Alan Robb Hickinbotham established the world-famous oenology wine course at Roseworthy College (now Adelaide University).  To commemorate this new development, the Hickinbotham family has produced Barossa Estate wine. This traditional blend of two varieties – shiraz and cabernet – embodies the essence and flavour of a classic australian red. A rich dark ruby red with a bouquet full of lush fruit.
