1997 Pikes Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre
POLISH HILL RIVER, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This is a truly exciting addition to the Pikes range. The Clare Valley is simply a great area to grow grapes and the success Neil and Andrew Pike have had with Shiraz led them to experiment with the other varieties of the Rhone Valley usually blended with each other in the Southern Rhone. It has been a very successful experiment......

1996 Clarendon Hills "Blewitt Springs" Grenache
BLEWITT SPRINGS, MCLAREN VALE
SoldOut January Release Grenache
What could Roman Bratasiuk do to top his 1995 Grenache releases. Well he has made even better wines with incredible concentration and power. This vineyard is the big one, producing the most intense and concentrated fruit suitable for the longest maturation period and this wine will live on and on for many years......

1996 Clarendon Hills "Kangarilla" Grenache
KANGARILLA, MCLAREN VALE
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Another year and yet another Roman Bratasiuk single vineyard Grenache. Not content with the huge success of his Clarendon and Blewitt Springs vineyards, released as separate wines for the 1995 vintage, Roman has secured another small parcel of fruit from a vineyard with old bush trellised Grenache located in the Clarendon sub-region......

1997 Clarendon Hills "Blewitt Springs" Grenache
BLEWITT SPRINGS, MCLAREN VALE
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Of the three individual vineyard Grenache wines produced by Roman Bratasiuk at Clarendon Hills, this is the most concentrated, the longest living, the most powerful. This vintage does not disappoint......

1997 Clarendon Hills "Clarendon" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This is typically the lighter style of Roman’s three individual vineyard Grenache varietals. Again this is the same story with this vintage. This is his ready to consume, delicate and dainty Grenache. However if you are familiar with Clarendon Hills Grenache you know that those descriptive words are used almost in jest, as all the wines have power and depth beyond any other producer in Australia......

1997 Clarendon Hills "Kangarilla" Grenache
KANGARILLA, MCLAREN VALE
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Another year and yet another Roman Bratasiuk single vineyard Grenache. Not content with the huge success of his Clarendon and Blewitt Springs vineyards, released as separate wines for the 1995 vintage, Roman has secured another small parcel of fruit from a vineyard with old bush trellised Grenache located in the Clarendon sub-region......

1997 Hill of Content Grenache Shiraz
CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Grenache
The true spirit of Australian red wine is captured with this traditional Grenache Shiraz blend. Fruit is carefully sourced from premium areas and skilfully blended to produce a wine that has immense appeal as an early drinking, but full bodied red wine......

1998 Clarendon Hills "Clarendon" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Roman Bratasiuk continues to make the most intense and concentrated red wines in Australia. He also is this country's most committed devotee to single vineyard expression. The three single vineyard Grenache releases from the 1998 vintage are all quite different to each other and provide fascinating comparisons......

1998 Clarendon Hills "Kangarilla" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Medium dark in color the appearance indicates the wine has plenty of depth without being over extracted. The color is right to the rim and the clarity is a fraction off being brilliant, due no doubt to the no filtration approach adopted by Winemaker Roman Bratasiuk......

1998 Clarendon Hills "Blewitt Springs" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This wine has a deep and dark red color with a purple tint. It is just a little cloudy, which is a sign that the wine has not seen a filter, promising unadulterated real fruit flavor......

1998 Hill of Content "Old Vines" Grenache-Shiraz
CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Grenache
The introduction of this wine has proved a great success. Parcels of fruit are selected from mature dry grown vines and are blended together to produce a traditional Australian full bodied red wine that can be enjoyed at a young age with all the fresh fruit being so overwhelming. Generally the big Aussie red requires plenty of time to soften because they are heavily extracted. By the time the palate is soft the fruit flavor has developed into the secondary characters......

1998 Pikes Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre
POLISH HILL RIVER, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This is Neil’s second release of this blend inspired by the wines of Chateaneuf-du-Pape and other fine wines from the Southern Rhone Valley. This style has developed along its own path in Australia and in a particularly distinctive way for Neil Pike. The 1998 is even more appealing than the prior vintage. Much could be attributed to a modified blend - 40% shiraz, 40% grenache and 20% Mourvedre. It is immediately appealing with its finesse and elegance on show from the moment you nose the wine......

1999 Hill of Content "Old Vines" Grenache Shiraz
CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Whilst the ’99 vintage in Australia is not seen as impactful as ’98, this wine does not fall into that generalization. It has the intensity of the ’98, with perhaps a little more complexity......

1999 Pikes Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre
CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Shiraz comprises just over half of the blend yet the sweet musky raspberry flavor of the Grenache and the earthy, leathery prune characters from the Mourvedre are the dominating flavors on the bouquet. In addition there are some aniseed notes like tarragon and fennel along with some cracked pepper, which is courtesy of the Shiraz......

1999 Clarendon Hills "Hickinbotham" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
Wonderful aromas of raspberry, cherry, Asian spices and hints of pepper greet you on the nose. The palate is extraordinarily elegant, but with great intensity. Berry flavors are accentuated, notes of minerals, dry spices and even licorice make this a very complete wine. It is still very tight, but will no doubt develop beautifully......

1999 Clarendon Hills "Romas" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This is the first ever release of Roman’s top Grenache. The fruit actually comes from a plot of vines at the top of the Blewitt Springs vineyard, where yields are 0.5 to 1.0 per acre......

1999 Clarendon Hills "Kangarilla" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This single vineyard bottling from the irrepressible Roman Bratasiuk is consistently the most complex of his series of Grenache. Black raspberry and cherry notes abound, but with immediate hints of spice and earth to add to its extraordinary complexity. On the palate the flavors expand and linger. You even pick up liqueur and tobacco notes......

1999 Clarendon Hills "Blewitt Springs" Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
This is always the most expressive and decadent of the single vineyard Grenache wines from Clarendon Hills. Dense raspberry, strawberry and plum liqueur are wound up in a package of exotic spices and fragrances. This is an amazing super-concentrated wine, with so much going on, and evolving every sip you take. Hints of grainy oak linger in the background, but given the predominance of old oak its there to add character rather than to overwhelm to exotic fruit......

1999 Clarendon Hills "Clarendon" Old Vines Grenache
CLARENDON
SoldOut January Release Grenache
As with all Clarendon Hills wines, GIVE THIS WINE TIME TO BREATHE!! Initial impressions on the nose are of cherry, strawberry and spice box. Within an hour or so wonderful floral notes evolve and demand attention. On the palate lean cherry and strawberry characters blossom with air into broader and more powerful elements, and the dry spices and minerals kick up beautifully......
