The J.F.R. Shiraz is a blend of three premium McLaren Vale vineyards: Piebald Gully, Gateway Vineyard and Martins Vineyard.
Full flavoured with juicy dark red berries, hints of spice, earth, tar and leather, with seamlessly integrated oak. Mouthcoating tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, meaning this is a wine which can be enjoyed now or in the next 15 years.

Deep and dense ruby colour. Mulberry, dark chocolate and ground coffee aromatics. Rich and weighty on the palate with velvet tannins offing a gentle guide to the richly spiced dark fruits. Character has been well built with a dark graphite note lingering underneath. All that richness and power ensure a long and slippery finish 11 FEB 2023 Drink 2023�035
