Vigneron Notes:
Sourced from the organically grown J&J family site this single vineyard shiraz met a devastating heat wave at the time of harvest in 2009. By hand harvesting and sorting , we ensured only the best fruit met the winery. This low yield and intense heat saw the resulting wine, a rich ,ripe and robust McLaren Vale style shiraz. It is a testament to the dedication of the J&J team against adversity.
