Pre-Order: This item will be fulfilled and dispatched within one week after your order is placed.

The 2023 J.F.R. Shiraz is a blend of two iconic McLaren Vale Shiraz vineyards; Piebald Gully and Gateway Vineyard. Piebald Gully is situated in the coolest sub-region of McLaren Vale, bordering the Adelaide Hills. Planted in deep sand over clay at the base of the southern Mt. Lofty ranges, the vineyard is late ripening and virtually dry grown, producing an elegant and refined style of Shiraz. Gateway Vineyard, so called as it stands just at the entrance to McLaren Vale, is located in the subregion of Seaview. The vines grow on top of a rather unusual amount of limestone rock and has views of the Gulf of St Vincent and the Adelaide Hills. This vineyard produces a richer and more fruit forward style of Shiraz with excellent structure.
