Claymore Sidewood Estate Wine List

Striking and concentrated lime dominates the aromatics here. The palate is powerful, with plenty of acid carrying the lime forward and across the length. A Riesling that really demands to be served with food. Learn More

We have long been fans of Claymore. The Dark Side of the Moon is their best and most underpriced wine, offering spice, dark fruits, raspberries, concentration, and plenty of fine tannins. As always, there is a smoothness and polish to this wine which belies its sub $30 price point. Learn More

Claymore have a habit of producing excellent Riesling and that habit is no danger here. Displaying everything you’d want in a young Riesling, lifted aromatics, crisp acidity and succulent lime. A silky palate that extends to a long dry finish just leaves you wanting more. Learn More

A stunning Chard sourced primarily from Sidewood's famed Mappinga Vineyard. Just free run juice is fermented in 100% French oak and matured there before rigorous barrel selection and bottling. There's jasmine, white peach, grilled nuts, a glorious texture and cedary oak. A wonderful chardonnay. Learn More

One of the most insane quality vs price ratios on the planet. Hand tended vines are picked by a Pellenc select harvester- which pick just the absolute best fruit. 12 separate clones of Shiraz are fermented separately using wild yeast, given extended maceration on skins and matured in French oak for 15 months. Finally, only the best barrels are blended and bottled. That sounds to us like most high-end producers $60-$100+ Shiraz. No surprise this has picked up 96 pts. from Halliday and 12 gold medals.

Blended from 60% Pinot and 40% Chardonnay, bright aromas of strawberry, lemon citrus and brioche. The palate offers strawberry, stonefruits and cashew accentuated by a creamy mouthfeel. Good acidity gives this wine a mouthwatering aspect right through to its long finish. Learn More
