Clarendon Hills Grenache Kangarilla 1998, crafted by Clarendon Hills in Australia’s McLaren Vale, is a bold and mature wine from old-vine Grenache in the Kangarilla vineyard. The 1998 vintage offers a bouquet of raspberry, black cherry, and plum, with notes of spice, lavender, and earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, with soft tannins and vibrant acidity that highlight the fruit’s vibrancy. Subtle hints of herbs, leather, and pepper add complexity, while the finish is long and refined. Clarendon Hills’ artisanal winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and elegance. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb or Mediterranean dishes, this Kangarilla Grenache is a collector’s treasure, reflecting McLaren Vale’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a nuanced Australian red.
