Clarendon Hills Hickinbotham Cab Sau, Mclaren Vale, 2005

Roman Bratasiuk established Clarendon Hills winery in 1989 with a very simple philosophy “to make wines equal to anything in the world”. The phenomenal success of Clarendon Hills has been due to a number of factors, including the age of the vines. Today, much of the fruit is sourced from vines over 70 years old which are grown on a variety of sites which all contribute to the complexity of the wines. Robert Parker has poured great praise on Bratasiuk, with Clarendon Hills being named one of the top wine producers of the year and in 2003 nominated as one of Australia’s and the world's greatest wineries. He described this wine as 'tasting like an Australian version of a great vintage of Lynch Bages.'
