WINE DESCRIPTION

Clarendon Hills Piggott Range Vineyard Syrah is a premium wine produced by Clarendon Hills, a renowned winery in the McLaren Vale appellation of South Australia. The Piggott Range Vineyard is known for its steep slopes and rocky soils, which impart unique flavors and complexity to the Syrah grapes grown there. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with intense flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. This Syrah is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the McLaren Vale region.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Clarendon Hills Piggott Range Vineyard Syrah is a stunning example of Syrah from the McLaren Vale region.It layers intense aromas of blackberry, plum, tobacco, and earthy spices, with a palate of black cherry, dark chocolate, and a hint of pepper. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is lingering and smooth. An excellent expression of Australian Syrah.
