Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah McLaren Vale

McLaren Vale, Australia
From the Clarendon subzone's oldest bush vines at 350 metres elevation, Astralis is one of Australia's most profound wines: extraordinary concentration, complexity, and structure that rewards 20+ years of cellaring. Dark plum, earth, iron, and mineral precision define a wine considered among the southern hemisphere's greatest Syrahs.
