2001 Clarendon Hills Astralis 0,75 Liter

Clarendon Hills Astralis 2001, crafted by Clarendon Hills in Australia’s McLaren Vale, is an iconic Shiraz from a stellar vintage, sourced from old, low-yielding vines. The 2001 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, with notes of black pepper, spice, and smoked meat. The palate is rich, concentrated, and impeccably structured, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Subtle hints of graphite, leather, and minerality add depth, while the finish is long and powerful. Clarendon Hills’ minimalist winemaking, including basket pressing and French oak aging, ensures a wine of intensity and finesse. Perfect for pairing with barbecued ribs or roasted game, this Astralis is a collector’s gem, reflecting McLaren Vale’s terroir and offering a bold and sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a world-class Australian Shiraz.
