Jasper Hill: Georgia's Paddock Shiraz 2006
Jasper Hill's principal wine, in terms of production, is the dense, black-fruited ‘Georgia’s Paddock’ Shiraz. Infused with bright cassis flavours over a background of ripe tannins, this iconic thoroughbred wears its alcohol lightly and has great length and delineation. Approachable from bottling, if decanted, it will age well for 20 years.
What others think of this wine...
Andrew Catchpole in Decanter Magazine says:Powerful notes of dark fruit, spice and bitter chocolate with concentrated, savoury depths and fine but firm tannins.
