A joint venture between Michel Chapoutier from the Rhone and Ron Laughton of Jasper Hill in Heathcote. It is made from 100% Shiraz from a single vineyard near Jasper Hill's Georgia's Paddock, which is planted with a 50/50 mix of vines taken from Ron's favourite clones from Jasper Hill and Michael Chapoutier favourite clones from his vineyards on the Hermitage hill. As with all vines planted at Jasper Hill all these vines are planted on their own roots, dry grown and farmed bio-dynamically.
‘The clear, full crimson-purple colour has that intangible quality that promises much, the expectations more than fulfilled on the bouquet and palate. This is a beautifully wrought (I would used 'crafted' but that is nauseously overused in marketing blah) medium-bodied wine, effortlessly uncoiling its array of red fruits through the length of the palate, an exercise in restrained elegance.’
