The Story

The un-irrigated, insanely low yielding 3.2 hectare Emily's Paddock, planted with Shiraz and a few rows of Cabernet Franc, lies on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range. The Cambrian derived soils of friable red brown gravelly loams run in a unique thin north-south non-continuous strip between two parallel fault lines. These are well drained soils with high levels of iron and good water holding properties. A laissez-faire winemaking approach is central to the style. During fermentation the wine is regularly pumped over to achieve supple tannins structures. The wine is matured for 14 months in a mixture of new and old French oak (mostly Alliers oak). Emily's Paddock shows power and refinement, with ripe fruit matching well-handled oak.

Written Notes

Jasper Hill Emily's Paddock 2016 / Medium deep Crimson. Intense lifted blackcurrant menthol aromas with chinotto inky notes. Well concentrated blackcurrant blackberry fruits, with menthol sage like notes, fine chocolaty but vigourous tannins and underlying mocha ginger oak complexity. Finishes firm with plenty of fruit persistency. Elemental with plenty of richness and density to offset the muscular structure. Should age for decades. 15.5% Alc 94 points
