The Icons are the pinnacle of Elephant Hill’s winemaking philosophy. They are fine and rare wines with great complexity and depth and are made not only because of their exceptional quality but because they are special and unique.
This wine pays homage to a famous ancestor of the Weiss family, Hieronymus Ebner von Eschenbach, Lord Mayor of Nuremberg 1514- 1524.
Hieronymus is composed of 41% of Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 12 % Malbec and 8%Tempranillo from our Gimblett (58%) and Bridge Pa Triangle (42%) vineyards and represents the pinnacle of our Hawke’s Bay red blends.
There were three different hand picks from 1 to 15 April. Batches were fermented separately in oak open top cuves and then drained to barrel without pressing. The elevage for this wine was 26 months in 50% new French oak from a select number of coopers. This wine was not fined prior to bottling on 15th February 2018.
