Description
Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon syrah
Planted in the rocky high reaches of cool climate Clarendon, McLaren Vale the winemaker designed Domaine Clarendon Syrah vineyard utilises single stake vines, reminiscent of northern Rhone vineyards to express the ancient Clarendon terroir with flair and grace. Consistent tasting notes of graphite, iodine, roast meat, black cardamom, chocolate and black olive with blueberry plum fruits on a layered silken palate. This young vineyard of profound pedigree offers a solid introduction to the Clarendon Hills collection. Taste the rocks and listen to their ancient story.
“Complex and fresh. There’s plenty here on the palate with ripe plums, blueberries and blackberries, all smoothly honed, neatly folded and carried long by the tannins. Intense blueberry flavour. Really impressive depth and drive here. So drinkable now and for at least a decade.” – James Suckling, 93 points
