Clarendon Hills is an Australian winery founded in 1990 by Roman Bratasiuk. Located in the McLaren Vale region, it specializes in producing wines from unique single vineyards, focusing on Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. The winery is renowned for its old-vine wines, including the iconic Astralis Syrah, which has achieved cult status on the international stage.
Additionally, Romas Grenache comes from the oldest and rockiest part of the Blewitt Springs vineyard, with vines planted in the 1920s and 1940s. Clarendon Hills is a pioneer in Grenache production in Australia, introducing the first single-vineyard wine made from 100% Grenache, Blewitt Springs Grenache, in 1991.
