Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah 2014

South Australia’s Clarendon is home to the small, family-run winery known as Clarendon Hills. In 1990, Roman Bratasiuk launched Clarendon Hills and began a path that would fundamentally alter the Australian wine industry. Roman, a biochemist by trade, learned how to create wine on his own. Roman’s deeply prophetic vision saw him introduce the single vineyard concept to Australian wine in the same year. It takes richness and ripeness to extremes and yet it’s elegant, controlled and long. It’s precision engineering in wine form. The thrust of dark fruit, the sleek veneer of cedary, smoky oak, the attention-to-detail evident everywhere you look. – Campbell Mattinson, Hallidays Wine Companion, 96 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Shiraz Country – Australia Region – McLaren Vale, South Australia Vintage – 2014 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14.5% Closure – Cork
