Bold, Age-Worthy, Unmistakable: Clarendon Hills
Few estates capture the depth and pedigree of McLaren Vale like Clarendon Hills. Working with old, dry-farmed vineyards rooted in ancient soils, the winery crafts powerful, site-driven wines that reward both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring.
The single-vineyard Shiraz bottlings remain the cornerstone. Brookman is dark and brooding, layered with blackberry, graphite, and savory earth. Moritz offers aromatic lift and spice. From higher elevation vines, Piggott Range delivers freshness, minerality, and precision. And at the summit stands Astralis—a monumental Shiraz of extraordinary concentration and seamless structure, built to evolve for decades.
Equally compelling are the Cabernet Sauvignons from Brookman, Hickinbotham, and Sandown. These wines showcase the depth and structure that McLaren Vale Cabernet can achieve: cassis, dark chocolate, cedar, and firm yet beautifully integrated tannins. Each vineyard speaks clearly—Brookman intense and muscular, Hickinbotham structured and age-worthy, Sandown supple yet powerful.
Across both varietals, the signature is unmistakable: low yields, meticulous élevage, and a commitment to expressing vineyard character above all else. Production is limited, and the most sought-after bottlings rarely remain available for long.

Brookman Vyd. Cabernet Sauvignon  |

VM 89+ (8/2003): Medium red-ruby. Expressive nose melds raspberry, currant, smoked meat, truffle and espresso, with a very ripe smoky element. Sweet but quite firm in the mouth; the bright berry fruit seems a bit youthfully hard, owing to the wines strong spine of acidity. Juicy finish shows firm but fine tannins.
WA 88 (8/2003): The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Brookmans Vineyard is a dense, chewy, full-bodied effort revealing plenty of cassis, a multi-layered texture, and moderately high tannin in the finish. Patience will be required as this seems to be a slightly leaner version of Cabernet Sauvignon than the other examples. |

| WA 91 (8/2003): The inky/purple-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickenbotham Vineyard reveals a surprisingly elegant cedary, earthy, spicy, tobacco-infused bouquet, full body, Outstanding concentration, and plenty of firm, austere tannin in the finish. Patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020. |

| WA 93 (8/2003): The 2001 Syrah Moritz Vineyard comes across as a more elegant version of the 2002. It is profoundly concentrated with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, creosote, earth, and background oak. Although fabulously rich and long, it appears a bit undersized next to the 2002. The large-framed 2001 will hit its peak by 2007, and last until 2020. |
