Product Description

We have refined everything we do. We are striving for purity and perfection.

– Clarendon Hills

Clarendon Hills are vineyard and varietal expressionists dedicated to fine wine. We strive to capture the expression of single vineyard terroir and bring it to you in the most unbridled fashion. Clarendon Hills is situated in the highest reaches of Australia’s McLaren Vale wine region. We believe in unearthing

a sense of place and season through a jurassic park style of viticulture. Our wines are born from rare, pre-phylloxera vines grounded in ancient soil over 750 million years old.

Additional Information

Age and experience, it would seem, have mellowed Roman Bratasiuk and the style of his wines. Once formidable and often rustic, they are now far more sculpted and smooth, at times downright elegant. Roman took another major step by purchasing a 160ha property high in the hill country of Clarendon at an altitude close to that of the Adelaide Hills. Here he has established a vineyard with single-stake trellising similar to that used on the steep slopes of Germany and Austria, which produces the Domaine Clarendon Syrah. He makes up to 20 different wines each year, all consistently very good, a tribute to the old vines.
