Covering an area of almost 20 hectares, the Clarendon Hills vineyard sits on steep hills that benefit from a unique microclimate, favored by altitude and proximity to the Indian Ocean. This unparalleled climate, coupled with soils rich in slate and quartz, offers ideal conditions for viticulture. The vines, some over 90 years old, primarily consist of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cabernet-Sauvignon. Since its inception, the Clarendon Hills estate has built its reputation on an unwavering commitment to quality, cultivating in a traditional manner, without the use of pesticides or herbicides.

Due to their complexity and elegance, Clarendon Hills wines have achieved iconic status and are featured on the wine lists of the world's finest restaurants.
