Clarendon Grenache

This wine forms part of Clarendon Hills’ entry point ‘Village Wine’ classification.

Red fruits of the forest and pronounced spices typically headline this beautiful expression. Vivid kirsch and cherry fruits are balanced with ginger, white pepper, iodine, violets, fresh thyme and sarsaparilla.

It is always an early drinking vineyard that offers uber enjoyment within the first 10 years of its life, but is equally enjoyed after this age as adolescence renders a savoury expression that is reminiscent of the old-world. 

Planted in 1920, on a natural amphitheatre, this site has loamy clay top soils speckled with pebbles. The bush vines have never been trellised or irrigated, and it produces a fresh, floral Grenache that is considered our entry point or ‘village wine’.
