Vineyard

The fruit for this wine is sourced from a famous patch of dirt in Blewitt Springs, which is a sub region of McLaren Vale located out the back of the district. This iconic 75 year old vineyard produces only 2.5 tonnes per acre of prize fruit which is fought over by the district's winemakers each year.  

 

Winemaking

Starting life in the winery in an open fermenter, then hand shovelled into a basket press to be seasoned for an extended period of 24 months, this wine was in 40% new to 60% old, large (Puncheon) oak barrels. Each barrel was individually judged and selected to make the cut. When I select the individual barrels I am looking for a compact powerful palate with a tight focus and superb structure backed by firm tannins.

 

Tasting Notes

This Shiraz demonstrates not only typical regional charm and definitive varietal fruit flavour, but also embodies the finest of 20 years of winemaking. A bold, heavy, full bodied Shiraz that offers enough structure to hold any dinner conversation.

 

Ageing Advice

Having been aged for 24 months this wine may be enjoyed now, however it will confidently cellar for 8-12 years. Feel free to aerate it, or just give it a good splash as you pour. If it has been cellared (3 years or more), it is best to decant due to the wine undergoing minimal filtration. Sediment is expected.

 

Favourite Food Pairing

As we are talking about a full-bodied red, and big bold flavours, the wine will do well with rich dishes such as pork shoulder from the slow cooker with some fennel and roast vegetables.

JPM Mclaren Vale Shiraz

SKU: JPMMVSHZ
$30.00Price
  • This wine is dark crimson-purple and treads a fine line between being both elegant and bold. It has been seasoned for 24 months in new, one & two year old French and American oak. The refined tannin structure and natural acidity gives it great length, balance and persistence in flavour to compliment hearty dishes. It's perfect with my mum's slow cooked lamb roast.
