The 2021 Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Bordeaux is a flagship Bordeaux-style blend from McLaren Vale, crafted from meticulously selected vineyard parcels to showcase exceptional structure, elegance and longevity. Combining the classic Bordeaux varieties with Clarendon Hills' signature low-yielding fruit, it delivers remarkable depth and balance. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, dried herbs and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine, polished tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully layered texture, delivering flavours of cassis, blackberry and black cherry intertwined with hints of dark chocolate, cigar box, bay leaf and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining power with elegance and impressive ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Bordeaux-style blend for collectors and lovers of premium Australian reds seeking depth, structure and complexity. Enjoy after a generous decant or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with Wagyu beef, roast lamb, venison, beef Wellington or mature hard cheeses.
