The 1998 Brookman Cabernet Sauvignon gives a very elegant nose full of violets, blackberries and cedar with hints of pencil shavings, liquorice and tobacco. The palate is deep and layered with a velvety texture and very well balanced flavours.

Little Giant gets a natural and organic makeover thanks to some authentic lo-fi winemaking. The wines are the result of a collaboration between McLaren Vale winemaker Mike Brown and Corey Ryan of Little Giant the wines are exclusively sourced from a single estate vineyard in McLaren Vale. These are fresh, immediately drinkable, deliciously food friendly wines that are the essence of one of South Australias favourite wine regions.

Among the single vineyards of Cabernet and Merlot is the Domaine Clarendon BDX vineyard which is located within the Blewitt Springs sub region of McLaren Vale, South Australia. All of the wines at Clarendon Hills are made by hand and are crafted using only natural processes and ingredients. Apparent Domaine Clarendon BDX characters include violets, black currant, cedar shavings and polished mahogany characters throughout the palate. The Domaine Clarendon BDX is a part of the Clarendon Hills Premier-Cru classification and generally drinks best after 8-10 years in the cellar, when its terroir is formally demonstrated. Exceptional vintages like 2016 offer a unique approachability to this Terroir and opening it before full maturity offers an opportunity to see a legend in the making.

Layered and powerful, this expression is recessed and sedate in its early years. Dark fruits are nicely spiced with cinnamon, black cardamon, liquorice and Cabernet freshness. The most structured of its two sisters, the finely grained talcum texture, majestic depth and balanced savoury complexities are a hallmark of classic old-world styled Cabernet Sauvignon by Clarendon Hills.

The first impression of the palate is of richness and depth. Further exploration shows layers of toasty oak and some dark chocolate flavours, along with pleasant mint and blackcurrant. The wine is mouth filling with great length.
