Clarendon Hills 'Domaine Clarendon' Syrah 2023

Domaine Clarendon began as project that involved buying land with a vision to plant and cultivate a very special vineyard. The winemaker design is completely unique in Australia and had never been done before. On a hilltop in Clarendon at 350 mtrs above sea level, Astralis vineyard cuttings were drilled into some the worlds oldest geology and a single stake, non cordon trellis vineyard was created. It took 3 year however in 2005 the vineyard was completed and the first vintage was 2009. Today the vines are approaching 20 years old and in spite of their age there is something utterly remarkable about this wine. The pursuit of perfection is well and truly alive here.

The 2023 offers unbridled approachability with an already silken smooth palate, it offers a youthful approachability and a lengthy opportunity in the cellar to pursue those truffled, earthy characters wine aficionados seek.
