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
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 Emily's Paddock Shiraz 2018
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.
