Jack’s Shiraz 2012

Open Top Fermented | Basket Pressed

Could this be the best Jack’s Shiraz to date? We think so! This wine shows beautiful balance, purity of fruit and fine silky tannins.
2012 Jack’s Shiraz was sourced entirely from the family’s Greenock estate vineyards, predominantly from the Home and Hill Blocks. Harvest commenced on the 25th February and in total there were 10 small batches of wine made over 6 weeks that make up the 2012 Jack’s Shiraz. The grapes were de-stemmed and 80% berries crushed while 20% whole berries remained before being transferred into open top fermenters. Fermentation was kept cooler and juice pumped over the skins twice a day during the 7 to 10 days on skins. The wine was then drained to oak barrels and skins were hand shovelled out of the fermenters into the basket press. Pressings were kept separate and were blended back into the Jack’s Shiraz just prior to bottling.
