Outstanding Langtons Classification. A superior vineyard wine, named for the winemaker's daughter (also a winemaker), a red label commemorates the devastating bush fires of 1987. Simpy try the majestically profound Emily's Paddock, or Georgia's Paddock Shiraz and you will find some of Australia's greatest Shiraz, ultimate expressions of the terroir of the Heathcote region!” -Oz Clarke,.
Jasper Hill has placed the Heathcote region firmly in the minds of Shiraz lovers around the world. Chapoutiers of the Rhone Valley have invested in a joint venture with Jasper Hill to develop an adjacent vineyard. Beyond the sensational site, it's the commitment to low yields, dry farming and non-interventionist, organic viticultural practices that place Jasper Hill among the top Australian Shiraz producers. The two vineyard sites are named after daughters Emily and Georgia. The unirrigated, low-yielding, drought and frost ravaged Georgia's Paddock is a must for the Shiraz afficianado. Following vinification she is treated to maturation in a combination of new and prior use French and American oaks. Approx 14.5%
TASTING NOTES
Dark red colour. Fine bouquets of florals and bright fruit, cranberrry and cherry, plums and spiceyness, powerful savoury expressions of smoked meats and game, tarry, earthy, so very redolent of excellent, clean oak. Myriads of dark fruit flavours, notes of bitter cherry, candied liquorice, violet and rose pastille. A core of super concentrated fruit encased in fine, firm tannins, a wine which truly clings to the palate, and grows perfume-like nuances of soil and fruit as it works with the air.

More About Jasper Hill Wines
The aim is to make great wine, with the preservation of nature's flavours, complexities and balance by using minimal intervention in the vineyards and in the cellar - to allow the individual vineyard's sense of place to express itself
Jasper Hill are produced entirely on the estate using organic/biodynamic principles. The estate produce their own organic compost and have never used synthetic chemicals on either the vines or the soils, since vineyards were planted in 1975. Viticultural practices are as close to nature as possible: own rooted vines (ie. not grafted on to American rootstocks to confer Phylloxera resistance), no irrigation whatsoever, minimal tillage, natural inter-row mulching leading to broad bio-diversity, in turn giving depth and intensity to our wines. Only hand pruning of the vines and hand harvesting of the fruit can allow the human connection to the living soil. Jasper Hill»
