2018 Jack’s Shiraz was sourced from the family’s Greenock, Moppa Hill & Marananga vineyards. 78% Greenock fruit with a good percentage from Hill Block, which is planted on red-brown earth over red clay to 3ft, then hits the bluestone formation of the hill. 18% from Moppa Block 8 which is sandy soil over orange-red clay with thick gravely quartz stone scattered throughout soil profile. For the first time from the calcareous soils of the Marananga vineyard an inclusion of 4%.
The grapes were de-stemmed and whole berries transferred into open top fermenters. 60% was made in 5 & 8 tonne open tops with 3 pumpovers per day. 40% made in small 3 tonne open tops with hand plunging three times per day. Both receiving an occasional rack and return to chillers for cooling only. After fermentation the wine was then drained to oak barrels and skins were hand dug out of the fermenters into the basket press.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
