The Clarendon Hills Onkaparinga Syrah vineyard is classified by Clarendon Hills as a Grand Cru site and possesses phenomenal power and a wealth of complexity. The Onkaparinga Syrah produces one of the most prolific Syrah expressions in the Clarendon Hills cellar in every vintage. The vineyard used to be considered a Penfolds Grange constituent site in the 1980s and the pedigree is clearly evident. Deeply layered and recessed, laying in wait for future generations is a story of ancient Blewitt Springs terroir. The site sits atop the famous Blewitt Springs's deep sandy soils and is located in rocky ironstone, shale, and quartz pebbles when coupled with very old, dry-grown, pre-phylloxera Syrah vines, they forge an expression of first-class Australian terroir that rivals the best in the world.
