Wine

Clarendon Hills Clarendon Grenache is sourced from a low yielding, dry grown Clarendon vineyard 250 metres higher above sea level than the rest of McLaren Vale.

The handpicked grapes ferment as whole berries with wild yeast to increase retention of the grape's varietal character and minimize bitter tannins. All pressings are returned to the barrel.

The wine is matured for 18 months in new and seasoned tight grained French oak. The final barrels are hand selected. It is bottled onsite without fining or filtration.

Ruby crimson, Clarendon Hills Clarendon Grenache has ripe red fruit flavours, bright natural acidity and fine chalky tannins. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
