The 2016 Clarendon Hills Grenache Romas is a rich and expressive old-vine McLaren Vale Grenache that delivers both concentration and elegance in classic Clarendon Hills style. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of raspberry, red plum and black cherry alongside notes of dried herbs, spice, earth and subtle savoury complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and a plush, textured mouthfeel, offering vibrant red fruit flavours balanced by fine acidity and gentle spice. The finish is long, smooth and beautifully integrated, showcasing depth without losing freshness or finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a serious, cellar-worthy Grenache with Rhône-inspired character and complexity. Drinking beautifully now with decanting, it will continue to evolve over the next 6–10 years. Perfect with roast lamb, grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes or aged cheeses.
