| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nExhibiting the typical characters of mixed red berries with a general spiciness to the velvety, viscous, well balanced and rounded palate. A powerful wine, with fine, supple tannins and a fabulous length. Great longevity again, but regardless, this will immediately appear on wine lists matched to grilled red meats without any detriment.\r\nRobert Parker 96 Points\r\nWine Spectator 95 Points\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Jasper Hill Winery\r\nOur aim is to make great wine, with the preservation of nature\u2019s flavours, complexities and balance in our wines by using minimal intervention in our vineyards and in the cellar \u2013 to allow the individual vineyard\u2019s \u201cterroir\u201d or sense of place to express itself by \u2018interfering\u2019 as little as possible.\r\nOur wines are grown, made and bottled entirely on the estate from our own organic unirrigated vineyards. We produce our own composts and have never used synthetic chemicals on either the vines or the soils, since our vineyards were planted in 1975.\r\nViticultural practices are simple: 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, very low yields giving depth and intensity to our wines. Only hand pruning of the vines and hand harvesting of the fruit can allow us the human connection to our living soil.\r\nEstablished by Ron and Elva Laughton, ever since the first vintage in 1982 Jasper Hill has been a small, family business. The 2019 vintage was our 38th. As the vineyards and their two daughters have grown over the years, both Emily and Georgia continue to work within the business. Emily has been passionately growing grapes and making wine alongside her father since 2001, whilst Georgia enjoys doing most of the administrative work. Ron and Elva live amongst the vines on Emily\u2019s Paddock; Emily lives on Georgia\u2019s Paddock vineyard with her husband Nick, daughter Ella and son Nate. Nick is also a highly valued member of the team, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. |
