Jasper Hill: Emily's Paddock Shiraz 2007
The ‘Emily’s Paddock’ Shiraz from Jasper Hill is equally impressive and age-worthy as the Georgia's Paddock Shiraz. It is blended with a soupçon of Cabernet Franc which imparts a little more finesse on the nose and adds a touch more complexity on the palate. It is rightly regarded as one of Australia’s finest wines and is fiendishly difficult to source in situ.
