Mordrelle ‘Three Clone blend’ Syrah

Mordrelle ‘Three Clone blend’ Syrah 2020 from the cool‑climate Adelaide Hills is a fragrant, finely structured Syrah that mixes cherry‑bright fruit with floral lift and savoury spice – a thoughtful, small‑batch expression from Martín Moran.

This 2020 Syrah ‘Three Clone blend’ shows cherry and rose‑petal aromatics, wrapped around black pepper, cedar shavings and clove spice, giving both perfume and depth. On the palate it’s medium‑bodied with silky tannins, a savoury edge and a long aftertaste, the three‑clone approach bringing fragrance, balance and a nicely layered cool‑climate feel.

As an Adelaide Hills‑focused sommelier, I’d pour Mordrelle ‘Three Clone blend’ Syrah 2020 with chargrilled lamb chops, duck breast or a smoky eggplant dish, where its cherry fruit, florals and spice can really play. It’s also excellent with cured meats, semi‑hard cheeses and herb‑roasted vegetables – a quietly complex Syrah that’s ideal for drinkers who enjoy aromatic, food‑friendly reds.
