2021 Jones Winery & Vineyard Shiraz
$35.00 inc. GST
The bouquet is complex with notes of spice and red berry fruits and chocolate. The palate has great persistence of flavour; rich fruit of cherries and plums, spice and black pepper and is backed up by abundant yet fine tannins. The complex finish has bold intensity of chocolatey, berry flavours, with length and persistence.

Winemaking Notes
Made from grapes grown in some of our older vineyards. The grapes were harvested from 25th February 2021, destemmed and then fermented in open vats with hand-plunging. Maturation was in barrel then the wine was fined with egg white prior to bottling. The wine was matured for 18 months in oak barrels, 30% of which was new French oak.
Food Matches
Great with cheese, game and red meat-based dishes. Try with confit duck breast or a pink rack of lamb with a herb breadcrumb crust.
Halliday Wine Companion: This is Rutherglen shiraz 101: warm, generous, spice-filled, earthy and black-hearted. It's no fuss, strictly good, ripe fruit, enhanced nicely, subtly, by time in oak, contributing chocolate, woodsy notes. Rolls across the tongue effortlessly, ripe tannins in tow. Drink now, or later. Everything you want for the price. 93 Points. Jeni Port Jan 2024.
