Clarendon Hills Onkaparinga Syrah 2021

Overall winner - The Edinburgh Shiraz Challenge 2024

Best Wine Over $35 - The Edinburgh Shiraz Challenge

Sourced from a high altitude Blewit Springs site 250m above sea level on terroir composed of decomposed ironstone, quartz, shale and schist. Low yielding, dry grown vines from the Blewitt Springs region in the McLaren Vale were hand-picked and followed by a 60% whole berry, wild yeast fermentation. All pressings were returned to barrel and eventually bottled onsite without fining or filtration after 18 months in French Oak. 5400 bottles produced

'The aromas that mark this brilliant wine, the most Northern Rhone-like of the suite, are strong and consistent, denoted by the aura of a great terroir. Sumptuous notes of porcini mushrooms, smoked meats of all types, bouillon, star anise and a verdant kick for lift. Long, plush and forceful. While this is stylized and in synch with the riper expressions of 2021, it boasts an extra dimension and greater detail. Drink or hold' 96 Points - Ned Goodwin, JamesSuckling.com

95 Points - Erin Larkin

Onya Onkaparinga.

Wildly aromatic expression of Shiraz here. All the exotic spice, dried herb and lavender, roasted meat, blueberry and blackberry, grainy silty tannin, acidity is modest, but enough, and there’s a whole lot of incense and perfume on a finish of excellent length. 94 points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Black tea, perhaps Earl Grey with a hint of bergamot orange and an interesting bitterness to finish, a bit medicinal-herbal, thyme extract, amaro, nori, seared steak and sauteed mushrooms. It has a certain coolness about it, slate-like tannins, and black salt type of ‘mineral’ flavour. Rich, yet quite elegant. 94 points - Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front
