Outstanding Langtons Classification. A national icon wine of impressive structure, concentrated and powerful, with decidedly Australian complexity.
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 the cellar. To allow the individual vineyard's terroir and sense of place to express itself. Georgia's Shiraz Paddock is twelve hectares, each yielding about three tonnes of fruit, mainly planted in the seventies on own rootstock, to retain purity of style, rather than grafted to phylloxera resistant American non-vinifera material. The vines have a sunny open, balanced canopy that keeps fungal diseases at bay and eliminates the need for summer pruning, leaf plucking and crop reduction. All picking and pruning is carried out by hand with wonderful skill, from local friends.
TASTING NOTES
Dark ruby colour. Intense, complex nose of licorice, berries and earthyness. A multi layered palate which unravels to expose clean and discernible fruit flavours, fresh spice and pastoral characters. Supported by vivid tannins and the finest oak, with a splendid, lingering finish.

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»
