Clarendon Astralis Syrah is a highly regarded and premium wine from the Clarendon Hills winery in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Known for producing exceptional Syrah (the Australian name for Shiraz), this wine is a true expression of the region’s unique terroir, characterized by its intensity, depth, and balance.

The Astralis Syrah is often considered one of the standout wines of the Clarendon Hills portfolio, made from hand-selected fruit from the estate’s prized vineyard, which sits at high altitude, providing cooler temperatures that contribute to the wine’s finesse and complexity.

On the nose, Clarendon Astralis Syrah offers an elegant and intense bouquet of dark fruits like blackberry, plum, and black cherry, alongside layers of spices, licorice, and subtle earthy notes. There are hints of leather, smoke, and a touch of chocolate, contributing to the wine’s depth and intrigue.

The palate is full-bodied, yet balanced, with powerful fruit flavours and silky, well-integrated tannins. The wine showcases layers of ripe dark fruits, complemented by peppery spice, earthy undertones, and a touch of oak. The mouthfeel is rich and textured, with a long, lingering finish that leaves behind a pleasant and harmonious aftertaste of dark fruit, spice, and subtle oak nuances.

Clarendon Astralis Syrah is a wine of exceptional quality that can be enjoyed now or cellared for further maturation. It pairs wonderfully with hearty meats such as roast lamb, barbecued steaks, and rich stews. This Syrah is a standout example of Australian winemaking, offering both power and elegance in every sip.
