‘Jack West’ West Barossa Shiraz 2018

The 2018 Barossa vintage is characterized by two words: “bloody” and “marvelous.” Following winter, rains were fair to good, with additional sprinkles through the spring and early summer resulting in brilliant canopies and a well-hung harvest.

In January, South Australia is renowned for its scorching heat but was soon replaced by that trash with a wonderful day and a great frosty beverage. The sky was enormous blue, there were gentle winds, crisp cold nights, and an unadorned harvest as nature yielded an exceptional treat.

Tasting note

It’s a huge burst of black/blue spiced fruits, with complex flavors of black cherry and sarsaparilla spice wrapped around a hard tannin spine, which is characteristic of Shiraz produced in our family’s vineyards.

The Making of Wine

On the Barossa Valley’s western ridge, Gomersal is home to a vineyard estate that grows fruit from selected blocks. The fruit is destemmed and fermented in open-top stainless steel fermenters after being harvested at night. 

Daily pump-overs ensure proper color, taste, and mild tannin extraction, while also encouraging vibrant subregional varietal expression on the nose. The wine is softened and given a subtle note of vanilla through aging in seasoned French and American hogsheads for nine months.
