CLARENDON HILLS Clarendon Onkaparinga Grenache, McLaren Vale

The nose is abundant with red and blue fruits also seen on the palate, which is juicy, full bodied and underpinned by fine tannins. Further investigation reveals more layers of flavour and complexity after the initial tranche of bright fruits. A superb example of this most versatile of varietals and testament to McLaren Vale’s Grenache dominance.

A stylish blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a touch of Shiraz and Petit Verdot, from low yielding vineyards have produced another wine of elegance and class. Blackberry, mint and tobacco flavours are framed by fine tannin. The Shiraz adds some supple softness and the Petit Verdot adding aromatic lift. Another triumph!
