The 2023 Clarendon Hills Liandra Vineyard Syrah is a premium single-vineyard Syrah from McLaren Vale, sourced from the renowned Liandra Vineyard in Clarendon. Crafted from low-yielding vines, it showcases exceptional concentration, elegance and purity, reflecting the distinctive character of this elevated site. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of blackberry, black cherry and blueberry, complemented by notes of cracked black pepper, violet, liquorice, smoked meat and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully layered texture, delivering flavours of ripe blackberry, dark plum and black cherry intertwined with hints of dark chocolate, olive tapenade, savoury herbs and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining richness with freshness and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional single-vineyard Syrah for collectors and lovers of premium Australian reds seeking depth, elegance and longevity. Enjoy after a generous decant or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with chargrilled rib-eye, roast lamb, venison, slow-braised beef or mature hard cheeses.
