Clarendon Hills Sandown Syrah 2020

Hailing from the prestigious Sandown property located in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale where the sister wine, Sandown Cabernet Sauvignon originates. The Sandown Syrah is a new addition in 2022 to the Clarendon Hills portfolio. The Syrah patch was planted in the mid-1940s and yields a microscopic 250-300 dozen per annum. The Sandown Syrah patch is west-facing and features significant ironstone content. The site yields a signature incense-like spice throughout the fruit and makes for a highly exotic expression of Blewitt Springs Syrah. Cola, sarsaparilla, incense, blackcurrant, blueberry, black olive, Italian leather, Sandalwood, and roasted meat are all on display with recessed power woven throughout this highly perfumed and multi-layered, seamless example.
