Jack’s Shiraz represents a new breed of Shiraz coming out of the Barossa. Here there is value far beyond the price tag. The nose offers rich brooding fruit along with the fresh berry fruits you would expect from this brilliant variety. Balanced and elegant with lovely oak and fine tannins, Jack has delivered yet another cracking Barossa Shiraz. If you place your nose in the glass and close your eyes, you can almost smell the eucalypt and I’m sure the Kookaburra isn’t far away. -SG

The talented Shawn Kalleske, along with his partner in crime Mick Schroeter have crafted another pearler from the Greenock sub-region of the Barossa. It's generous with plenty of sweet rich flavour but it avoids being over the top. Plum, red and black berries feature prominently along with some eucalypt from the majestic Gum trees surrrounding the vineyard. Good acidity and nice, chalky, drying tannin fans out in the mouth. Blue fruits join in on the mid-palate before coffeed oak, cloves and spice carry the a finish with plenty of length. Give it a good decant to fully enjoy its pleasures. -JP
