CLARENDON HILLS Romas Vineyard Old Vine Grenache, McLaren Vale 2022 Bottle
About this wine
Clarendon Hills Romas Vineyard Old Vine Grenache is a prestigious Grenache known for its unique character and link to the terroir of McLaren Vale. Crafted from grapes grown on the steepest, rockiest part of the Blewitt Springs vineyard, the vines, planted mostly in the 1940s, are gnarled and low-yielding. This results in intensely flavoured grapes with high acidity. The wine itself is unfiltered and handmade, showcasing a complex profile. Expect flavours of red fruits like plum and red apple skin, intertwined with savoury notes of oregano, earth, and peppercorn. Hints of spice and a flinty edge add further intrigue. This is a wine for Grenache enthusiasts seeking a distinctive expression of McLaren Vale's terroir.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Clarendon Hills
Inspired by the classic South Australian wines of the 1950s and 1960s, particularly Penfolds, the visionary Roman Bratasiuk, a former biochemist, bought the old Elysium winery at Blewitt Springs, near Clarendon in McLaren Vale. By chance he found the nearby 10 acre Astralis Vineyard as a source of "as good as you can get" Shiraz. The vines were first planted in 1920 with 19th century colonial vine-stock derived from Chateau Reynella. Best known for the flagship wine Astralis Syrah, Clarendon Hills also produces a portfolio of single vineyard age-worthy Grenache & Syrah wines derived from 35 to 75-year-old dry grown vines, from the Clarendon, Blewitt Springs and Kangarilla sub-regions of McLaren Vale.
