Clarendon Hills Astralis 2003 is a Syrah from McLaren Vale, sourced from ancient vines planted in the 1920s. The vineyard’s iron-rich clay soils contribute to the wine’s distinct character. The 2003 vintage benefited from a hot growing season, enhancing the grape’s phenolic maturity. The wine exhibits aromas of dark fruits, hints of roasted coffee and earthy undertones. Tannins are pronounced, offering a firm structure. Founded by self-taught winemaker Roman Bratasiuk, Clarendon Hills is known for its focus on single-site expressions, reflecting the terroir of McLaren Vale. This wine showcases the intensity and depth that come from its unique vineyard origins.

Vinous
Opaque ruby with a violet rim. Full-throttle, liqueur-like aromas of raspberry, black cherry, blueberry, mocha, coffee, violet, licorice pastille and exotic Asian spices. Dense and thick yet fresh, exuberant and high-toned in flavor, showing every imaginable berry note and an impressively deep, velvety texture. Finishes bright, pure, fresh and very long, with fully buffered tannins and exotic, sexy oak spices lingering.Josh Raynolds1st July 2005
