Overview
The 2000 Jasper Hill Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc 750ml is a mature single-vineyard wine from Jasper Hill in Heathcote, Victoria. Produced from Shiraz and Cabernet Franc, Emily's Paddock is distinguished by its firm tannin profile, natural acidity and savoury, site-driven character.
At release, the 2000 vintage was described as an elegant and beautifully balanced expression, showing sweet red berries, mixed spice, perfume and exceptional length. Now fully mature, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the developed character of one of Jasper Hill's most recognised vineyard wines.
Vintage & Winemaking
Emily's Paddock is Jasper Hill's smallest vineyard, covering approximately 2.7 hectares on an easterly facing slope. Its naturally low yields contribute concentrated flavours and the firm tannin structure traditionally associated with this wine.
The Shiraz and Cabernet Franc were co-fermented with natural yeasts and remained on skins for five to six weeks before gentle pressing. The wine was then matured for 12 months in French oak, with the restrained production approach preserving the vineyard's fruit, natural acidity and distinctive structure.

Cellaring Potential
The 2000 Emily's Paddock is fully mature and should be considered ready to drink. The most recent official retrospective assessment recommended drinking by 2025, so further ageing is not advised unless the bottle has exceptional provenance and has been stored under ideal conditions. Bottle variation should be expected in a wine of this age.
