McLaren Vale South Australia. This fruit is the very best sourced from the organic J&J family vineyard on Rivers Lane in the heart of McLaren Vale. The block is picked in 3 separate small batches and processed individually to give the three tiers of shiraz under the J&J banner.
This wine is produced in small batches and only when the vintages are favourable to producing the highest quality. Fortunately this inaugrual release was aided by the best vintage in over a decade and is a true reflection of the passion, complexity and terroir that J&J Wines represent.
