Founded by Roman Bratasiuk in 1990, Clarendon Hills has revolutionised the Australian wine landscape by championing a strict single-vineyard philosophy. The 2016 vintage showcases the incredible depth and concentration that this iconic estate is famous for. Carefully matured in fine French oak, the bold fruit and intricate spices are integrated perfectly. In the glass, it reveals an intense bouquet of crushed blackberry, dark plum and savoury roasted meats. On the palate, you'll experience a rush of dark fruit flavours framed by firm, velvety tannins and a crackle of black pepper, finishing with remarkable length and elegance that will reward further time in the cellar.

Why do we love this wine?
Nestled in the premium, elevated reaches of McLaren Vale, the estate relies on ancient, dry-grown vines that plunge deep into complex, rocky soils. This unique terroir naturally limits yields, resulting in grapes of extraordinary purity and intensity. By combining these exceptional sites with classic, minimal-intervention winemaking techniques, they've managed to capture the authentic voice of the land in a wine that confidently stands alongside the finest global benchmarks.
