• Our history

  

  The story of Clarendon Hills is one of passion, dedication and commitment to exceptional wine. t all began in the 1980s, when a biochemist and wine taster named Roman Bratasiuk decided to produce his own wine. Though he’d never trained as a winemaker, Roman let himself be guided by his refined palette and scientific knowledge. Following his favourite producers and preferred styles, Roman sought to make a version of the wines he loved.

• Our winemaking philosophy

  

  At Clarendon Hills, our approach to our vineyards is central to our success. We believe in conveying purity and sense of place - in ultimate expressions of classic world varieties.In all our wines, we seek to express the beauty and unique qualities of each of our vineyards. We hand-source very old, very special, pre-phylloxera bush vines and we make our wine by hand, using only natural processes. By doing so, we strive to express the unique varietal imprint of a vineyard – by conveying its vintage and location.
