Rich and dark red in colour with a dark purple rim, the nose shows a concentrated layer of blue and black fruits, dark chocolate and hints mocha and savoury oak notes. The palate is rich and plush with an excellent structure. There are concentrated layers of blue and black berry fruits blended with balanced oak. Fine, velvety tannins give length and power, with a soft and full finish.This wine is matured in a combination of French, American and Hungarian oak barrels for 15 months. It can be enjoyed now but will also improve with careful cellaring.
The Pepperjack Graded Collection showcases two different styles of Shiraz, created by our winemaker to perfectly match two of his favourite cuts of steak: Scotch Fillet and Porterhouse.
The Pepperjack Graded McLaren Vale Shiraz was hand crafted to partner with Scotch Fillet as the McLaren Vale region produces Shiraz that is highly concentrated with lots of fruit flavour, as well as a richness to balance the rich flavours of the Scotch Fillet.
92 Point Rated - Mike Bennie The Wine Front
There’s some really serious and ongoing research and trial that goes into the grading that results in this series of Pepperjack wines. Chefs get involved, panels of winemakers tasting meats, rinse and repeat over a year.
Bold fruit character, a swish of tannin, big perfume all sweet and floral. Flavours tending to darker fruits, woody spice, malt characters and clove-y oak. Quite opulent, big, fleshy, rippling with sweet-ripe fruit character but finding a dry, tight finish (albeit quite quickly) to balance.
90 Point Rated - Ned Goodwin Halliday Wine Companion
Aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. With a name like this, the demographic and outlets at which this is aimed are no secret. A vivid glossy purple. On first whiff, the oak leaps out immediately. Charred, mocha-espresso and virile. The backdrop; violet, smoked meats, cherry and other dark-fruit allusions. Assertive. But such force does not win the 2nd and 3rd glass over finesse, poise and grace.
