About this product
Limited availabilityPairs well with LambIndependent wineryClarendon Hills and the Astralis Syrah are icons of not only McLaren Vale, but of Australian Shiraz. Clarendon Hills is the living vision of one of the world's greatest Shiraz winemakers, Roman Bratasiuk. His dream came true in 1990 and is now home to some of the most outstanding and hard to get single vineyard wines in Australia. The Astralis is the marquee wine in the Clarendon Hills range, and while this vineyard is not treated any differently to the others, it garners the most worldwide attention due to its incredible expression and timeless elegance. From an Easterly aspect and planted on a 45 degree ascending slope, Australis has phenomenal varietal length and will repay the patient cellarer for more than 15 years.

The fitting capstone to what was a terrific vintage for Clarendon Hills, the 2015 Astralis Syrah is destined to become a McLaren Vale legend. Remarkably precise, complex and pristine aromas of anise, pepper, mint and blueberries lead the way. They're followed by a full-bodied yet impeccably ripe palate that's dense and concentrated yet supple, leading into a velvety, nearly endless finish. Wow.
