About this wine
Clarendon Hills Brookman Vineyard Syrah, McLaren Vale
Clarendon Hills Brookman Vineyard Syrah is drawn from a mature site planted in 1949 on clay and ironstone soils in Blewitt Springs, a subregion known for producing Syrah with both weight and definition. The vineyard is dry-grown and low-yielding, encouraging concentration and natural balance. Winemaker Roman Bratasiuk handles the fruit with minimal intervention—wild ferment, no fining or filtration—and matures the wine in French oak, largely new, for around 18 months.
The result is a Syrah that consistently exhibits aromas of dark fruit, charcuterie, and dried herbs, with a dense yet composed palate. There’s structure from the tannins and a long finish shaped by acidity rather than oak. While it drinks well young with decanting, it has a clear track record for ageing. Brookman sits between the finesse of Liandra and the power of Onkaparinga in the Clarendon Hills range—made for collectors and serious McLaren Vale drinkers alike.

Expert Review
Wine Advocate
"The 2006 Syrah Brookman Vineyard was aged in 100% new oak. Complex both aromatically and on the palate, it will benefit from extended cellaring of 8-10 years." 95 points, Jay S Miller (February 2009)

Josh Raynolds
"Inky ruby. Powerful, youthfully brooding cassis and candied plum aromas are complicated by dark chocolate, candied licorice, cola and vanilla. Brighter on the palate, which offers sweet dark berry flavors and a slow-building mocha quality. Impressively concentrated and palate-staining, but I don't find this over the top. Finishes with outstanding persistence and lingering berry qualities. I'll bet on this improving with at least four more years of bottle aging." 93+ points, Josh Raynolds (September 2008)

Wine Spectator
Lithe and elegant, all velvet and grace, with gorgeous blackberry and blueberry character floating effortlessly over a sleek frame. The finish just keeps sailing on, and the flavors seem to expand as they go. Best from 2010 through 2020.
95 points, Wine Spectator (Harvey Steiman)
