The typicality of a great red Australian wine
The estate
Located at around 40 kilometres south of Adelaide, north of McLaren Vale, Clarendon Hills has become, over the vintages, a hallmark of Australian wines. Founded in 1990 by the great Romanian winegrower, Roman Bratasiuk, great wines are produced from these pre-phylloxeric vines which were planted in this region in the 1880s by European populations. The Clarendon winegrowing zone’s terroir is made up of a mosaic of soils (sandy clay, schist, quartz) spread out according to the altitude of the plots.
The grape varieties are comprised of Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, Mourvèdre and Cabernet Sauvignon.
In a constant search of excellence, Clarendon Hills practices a non-interventionist philosophy and produces, thorugh precise vinification, great wines which authentically express the typicality of their terroir of origin.
The 2001 Syrah Piggott Range may be one of several Clarendon Hills' Syrah cuvees that stand toe to toe with its 2002 sibling. A giant Syrah, it boasts an enormously rich nose of black fruits, subtle vanilla, smoke, and a hint of graphite. Extremely full-bodied, thick, and prodigious, it will be at its finest between 2008-2025.
