2017 Jacko’s Shiraz
THE STORY
“Michael “Jacko” James worked in our cellars until he succumbed to a long battle with
leukemia at the age of 26. His legendary character and courage left a lasting impression on
everyone. Our tribute to him is this full bodied Shiraz which displays rich peppery fruit over a
firm underlying structure with great length.” - Geoff Merrill
VINTAGE INFORMATION
Above average winter rainfall, which helped to set up early growth of the vines. Cool-
er air and soil temperatures during Spring slowed down vine development delaying
harvest dates.
Crop yields were good as was the quality for both whites and reds, both looking
outstanding with excellent flavour.
WINEMAKERS NOTES
Fresh herbs, perfume and gamey notes. Black pepper, red berries and black cherry
notes lift with time in the glass. The palate begins with round, fruity and savoury
characters, then moves towards a zesty and vibrant wild raspberry and cranberry
finish. A very complex wine with cool season characters that will grow and develop
into a stunning mature Shiraz.
FOOD PAIRING
Enjoy with slow cooked beef cheeks, roast lamb, kangaroo steak. Finish with some
Haigh's dark chocolate or a nice hard cheese.
