The 2021 Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah is a rich and expressive McLaren Vale Syrah that combines power, depth and elegance in a modern Australian style. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing blackberry, dark plum and blueberry layered with black pepper, licorice, smoked herbs and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a plush texture and fine-grained tannins, delivering concentrated dark fruit flavours balanced by savoury complexity and vibrant acidity. Notes of spice, cocoa and earthy undertones lead to a long, polished and refined finish. The style is bold yet balanced, showcasing the purity and structure that Clarendon Hills is known for.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Syrah for customers who enjoy premium Rhône-inspired reds with both richness and finesse. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–10 years. Perfect with grilled lamb, slow-braised beef, BBQ meats or hearty winter dishes.
