DOMAINE CLARENDON SYRAH
$73.00
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Domaine Clarendon is a 35-acre single stake vineyard located at the crown of Clarendon’s hills. Zero topsoil –all rocks. Vines planted in 2005.
Single stake, non-cordon trellised, dry grown vines are hand-picked and a whole berry, wild yeast fermentation ensues. This increases the retention of the grape’s varietal essence and minimizes bitter tannin extract. All pressings are returned to the barrel and bottled onsite without fining or filtration.
18 months. 50% brand new, 50% aged French oak. Barrels are finally hand selected by winemaking team for bottling.

APPEARANCE:
|
Black, purpled crimson. Vibrant intensity. |
|
AROMA:
|
A delightful kaleidoscope of elegant, yet seductively brooding array of characters present. Wildly smokey meats and pure black and blue fruit weave through a wildly refined fabric of crushed rock minerals, roast meats and olive tapenade and all the meanwhile fresh ginger edges add riveting counter balance. A seamless demonstration of restrained power, finesse and impeccable balance. |
|
PALATE:
|
There is a wonderful raw blueberry character that engages the crème-fraiche texture and leads to a multi-pronged sequence of flavour. The epicenter is a decadent experience offering syrah richness with counterweight spi ce and restrained intensity. A mouth watering ambient finish leaves the impression of impeccable balance - a hedonistic experience. |
