Gipsie Jack Shiraz 2021 (12 Bottles) Langhorne Creek, SA

$219.00 GST Included

SHIPPING AUSTRALIA WIDE

Deep red/purple in colour, this Shiraz has quite a lifted, floral nose with red fruits, pepper and spice coming to the fore with some dense blackcurrant, and blackberry. The nose is quite primary and fresh. The palate has a thick core of red & dark berry fruits along with the usual (for this wine) briary, tarry characters and some spicy peppery complexity.

The wine has good length with some lovely chewy tannin and a nice acid line (that enhances the length) and should help with longevity in bottle. As per the norm there is just a lick of quality sweet oak on the finish. Although this wine still shows some good concentration and is approachable in its youth, it does have some elegance about it and should age well.

About Us

Gipsie Jack has been named after John Glaetzer’s Jack Russell Gipsie. She is proudly displayed on every label.

Times have got a lot tougher in the Grape Industry in recent times. Third, fourth and fifth generation Langhorne Creek Grape Growers have found themselves struggling to find a market for their premium fruit with many having no alternative but to accept rock bottom prices just to make ends meet. John has been a long time supporter of Langhorne Creek fruit. Along with great mate and local vigneron Bill Potts, they decided the time was right to take matters into their own hands……..and so the birth of The Gipsie Jack Wine label began.

Whilst Gipsie Jack has a serious mission to raise the image of Langhorne Creek and give a few mates a leg up by providing a small but ever increasing alternative market, we don’t want our customers to take the wine too seriously. Is that because it’s not a good wine? Hell no! It’s a cracker. In every aspect it is vibrant, fresh and fun. We don’t want you to worry about length, balance and mouth feel. Although it rates very highly in all of these categories. Gipsie is about Friends and fun times.

You can choose Gipsie Jack off of a wine list in the company of the most knowledgeable wine drinker and know that there is no better value for money wine on any list. Gipsie Jack is a wine that lends its self perfectly to a lifestyle of friends, fun and food. Lazy weekend BBQ’s; fresh foods and best friends are all Gipsie moments. Gipsie Jack is especially designed to drink now.

Gipsie Jack Wines are modern and stylish. Johnny G and Ben have captured the freshness and vitality of today’s lifestyle and sealed it in a bottle. You don’t need a degree in wine science or to have attended the latest Wine Appreciation course doing the rounds to drink these wines.
