New Releases from Jasper Hill

"No Shiraz in Australia has reflected its site and its vintage with more fidelity down the years than Ron Laughton's Jasper Hill, the wine which first sprung a spotlight onto Heathcote." – Andrew Jefford, Decanter

"Simply try the majestically profound Emily’s Paddock, or Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz and you will find some of Australia’s greatest Shiraz, ultimate expressions of the terroir of the Heathcote region." – Oz Clarke

Jasper Hill Riesling 2019

heathcote, australia

$42

One of my favourite Australian Rieslings. Fleshier and richer (although still totally dry) when compared to wines out of the Clare Valley. There is a nice concentration of citrus-centred flavours here. Lemon balm, lemon curd, some wax – all delicious with ample generosity. This is also the first time this wine has been bottled under screwcap! Well done to Emily for convincing her dad it was time to change. – Ches Cook, FWC.

Jasper Hill Georgia's Paddock Nebbiolo 2018

heathcote, australia

$72

A full bodied and gutsy Nebbiolo with a core of primary red fruit and an aromatic profile that sets it well apart from the other reds. It’s more floral and pretty with a range of botanical and amaro suggestions that lure you into the wine. On the palate it is mouth-filing and powerful with plenty of grippy tannin at the back. It’ll be a nice wine to follow in the cellar and see it ages over the next decade. – Ches Cook, FWC.

Jasper Hill Georgia's Paddock Shiraz 2018

heathcote, australia

$90

This wine always impresses me in the way that it can deliver so much flavour and so much power in an elegant and controlled way. All its weight and drive is matched by freshness and vitality. Flavours here are dark and laced with earth and spice notes. Blue and black fruits dominate the palate which also carries provencal herb and a nice lick of fresh acidity. It’s got firm but fine tannins which contribute to a strong structural frame, but what is much more noticeable is the way in which the wine graces the palate with such measured power and class. Already looking the goods now but as we all know, the best of this wine will come with age. Tasting this next to the 1994 vintage was clear proof of this. – Ches Cook, FWC.

Jasper Hill Emily's Paddock Shiraz 2018

heathcote, australia

$125

Similar in weight to Georgia’s however this wine always carries a slightly enhanced aromatic profile. Debate continues as to whether or not this is due to the 4% inclusion of Cabernet Franc each year but whatever the cause, it is very welcome. Briar and Provencal herb, underbrush and a slight dusting of black pepper are all characters that support the richly concentrated primary fruit that coats the palate. It’s another fantastic release of this wine. – Ches Cook, FWC.
