BLACKJACK
Blackjack Vineyards is situated on an easterly slope, in the old Apple and Pear growing district of the Harcourt Valley on the foothills of Mt.Alexander. Although just south of Bendigo, the climate is considerably cooler, with vintage typically occurring late April into early May. The Harcourt Valley is normally blessed with â€Å"Indian Summerâ€Â a old and not overly fertile granitic soils. The vineyard is hand pruned a Shiraz is from the original planting in 1988.

THE WINE
Fermented in traditional open fermenters, hand plunged, and aged in small American oak barrels fermentation occurs in barrel. No finings and minimal filtration at bottling. Very generous on the nose; hints of blackberry pie, plum liqueur, vanilla and nutmeg. On the palate, there is good weight and concentration of flavour, showing plenty of fruit with oak gradually bringing things together. The tannins are powdery and dry to finish with plenty of length and perfect balance of alcohol and acid.

Suggested Cellaring 5 - 10 years
