Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2020
Single stake, non cordon trellised, 7 foot tall bush vines reflect the ancient terroir of Clarendon sub-region with astonishing constitution. The site is McLaren Vale’s highest altitude vineyard and is located in the coolest part of McLaren Vale on its North Eastern border with the cool climate Adelaide Hills wine region. The site demonstrates a definitive sense of place and exhibits a cool climate Syrah character laced with natural acidity and Asian spices.
Clarendon sourced. Ferrous, full weighted and immensely floral. Awash with smoked meats, iodine, lilac, aniseed and purple fruit allusions. Kirsch, bursting through the core to give away the hot-climate origins. Yet this is classy, largely playing a cooler climatic card of tension with considerable aplomb, pepper and clove littering the forceful finish. Drink by 2028. 92 points
